Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics

Aims and Scope

The Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of The Gazette of Medical Sciences (The GMS) publishes peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly work addressing women's reproductive health, gynecologic disorders, pregnancy, childbirth and maternal–fetal medicine. The Department provides an international platform for gynecologists, obstetricians, reproductive medicine specialists, midwives, clinicians and researchers to share findings that advance clinical knowledge and improve healthcare outcomes.

The Department welcomes original clinical and experimental research, prospective and retrospective studies, systematic and narrative reviews, case reports, case series, short communications, diagnostic studies, surgical techniques and scholarly perspectives. Contributions may examine the prevention, diagnosis and management of gynecologic diseases, infertility, reproductive endocrine disorders, pregnancy complications and conditions affecting women throughout their lives.

In gynecology, the scope encompasses benign and malignant reproductive tract diseases, menstrual disorders, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian disorders, pelvic infections, urogynecology, minimally invasive surgery, contraception, menopause and reproductive oncology. The Department also encourages research in assisted reproductive technologies, fertility preservation, reproductive genetics and hormonal regulation.

In obstetrics, particular interest is given to maternal–fetal medicine, antenatal assessment, prenatal diagnosis, fetal development, high-risk pregnancy, intrapartum care, labor and delivery, obstetric emergencies, postpartum complications and perinatal outcomes. Research involving maternal medical conditions, fetal monitoring, placental disorders, neonatal outcomes and evidence-informed maternity care is welcomed.

The Department encourages interdisciplinary research connecting gynecology and obstetrics with endocrinology, oncology, genetics, surgery, neonatology, public health, epidemiology and medical ethics. Studies that improve patient safety, access to reproductive healthcare, maternal wellbeing and quality of life are of particular interest.
