Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology publishes authoritative, clinically focused content that supports evidence-based practice across obstetrics and gynaecology.

The journal’s primary focus remains on practical, evidence-based review articles, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses, that address key questions in diagnosis, treatment, and patient management, and clearly define what is known, what is uncertain, and what remains to be established. The journal will also consider original research of clear clinical relevance and methodological rigor, particularly studies with the potential to influence clinical practice, inform guidelines, or address important evidence gaps in obstetrics and gynaecology.

The journal primarily publishes commissioned thematic special issues led by Guest Editors and developed by international experts. Across all content, emphasis is placed on clinically applicable, evidence-informed work that informs patient care, guideline development, and future research priorities.

While most content is commissioned, standalone submissions are considered following a pre-submission inquiry.
