Molecular Human Reproduction (2019 IF: 3.636) publishes articles on the basic science of human reproductive physiology and pathology, endocrinology, andrology, gonadal function, gametogenesis, fertilization, embryo development, implantation, pregnancy and contraception. Reproductive genetics is also an important part of Molecular Human Reproduction.
Studies on animal models are welcome as long as a clear relevance to human reproduction can be shown. Mechanistic studies and those exploring reproductive diversity/uniformity between species are encouraged. Published papers include peer-reviewed original research reports and short ‘New Research Horizon’ review articles.
