Advancing Reproductive and Maternal Health Research
Published in Sustainability, General & Internal Medicine, and Paediatrics, Reproductive Medicine & Geriatrics
Reproductive and maternal health research plays an important role in improving the well-being of women, newborns, families, and communities worldwide. Despite considerable advances in recent decades, preventable maternal deaths, inequities in healthcare access, and gaps in reproductive health services remain in major public health challenges. Research in these fields is essential to developing evidence-based policies, improving healthcare delivery, and achieving global health goals.
Achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3: Good Health and Well-being requires sustained investment in high-quality research that improves reproductive, maternal, and newborn health outcomes worldwide. Innovative studies can generate evidence that informs clinical practice, shapes health policy, and improves patient outcomes.
Research on pregnancy complications, reproductive toxicology, and implantation biology can help reduce preventable maternal morbidity and mortality, strengthen reproductive healthcare, and support healthier pregnancies worldwide. We invite researchers to submit relevant work to our open collections and contribute evidence that advances reproductive and maternal health research and align with SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being.
The collections below provide dedicated publication opportunities across three complementary areas of reproductive and maternal health.
Submit Your Research to Scientific Reports open Collections
This collection examines how environmental exposures, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals affect fertility, pregnancy, and reproductive development. We welcome studies of reproductive risks, endocrine disruption, toxicological mechanisms, and their public health implications.
Diagnosis, Complications, and Treatment of Preeclampsia
This collection focuses on the diagnosis, complications, and treatment of preeclampsia, one of the most serious complications of pregnancy. Relevant topics include biomarkers, disease mechanisms, maternal and fetal outcomes, prevention, and innovative treatment strategies.
This collection examines the biological processes underlying embryo implantation and early pregnancy. We welcome research on endometrial receptivity, implantation failure, immune regulation, and reproductive medicine.
Why Submit Your Research to Open Collections?
- Contribute evidence relevant to SDG 3, reach a global research audience, strengthen reproductive and maternal healthcare and inform evidence-based clinical practice.
- Researchers, clinicians, and public health experts are invited to submit relevant work to these open collections. Contributions can showcase innovative research, strengthen collaboration, and accelerate discoveries that inform clinical practice and health policy.
