Is your paper suitable for BJOG?
BJOG welcomes submissions of papers on all subjects relating to women's health. We give priority to papers containing original data, systematic reviews and commentaries suggesting innovative approaches to women's health problems. We have a global remit and publish papers from all around the world, including from both developed and developing countries.
Our readership is predominantly clinical but we welcome basic science submissions that have clinical implications. We are happy to consider qualitative studies provided they are written with the clinician in mind. The best way of appreciating the sort of papers we publish is to read some of our recent issues . We particularly appreciate a clear writing style with a minimum of jargon.
Initial assessment of submissions is done by our three Deputy Editors-in-Chief, who reject about 20% of papers at that time if they consider them not appropriate for our readership. This means you will get a quick assessment of your paper’s suitability for the journal, giving you the opportunity to submit elsewhere with a minimum of delay if it is not suitable. We currently accept about 15% of submitted papers. Please see editorial process for more details.
Supplements
BJOG supplements are issues created by external organisations.
Supplements are not subjected to the usual BJOG peer review processes. The Guest Editor(s) are responsible for the processes of selection and editing. Their appointment will be subject to approval of the Editor-in-Chief. A statement at the beginning of the supplement will explain how it was funded and state that the content has not been peer-reviewed by BJOG but has been reviewed by the Guest Editor(s). If a peer-review process has been used this will be outlined and will be followed by the Guest Editor(s) disclosure of interests.
The contents of a supplement will be approved by the Editor-in-Chief, and must be in accordance with the purpose of the journal to discuss scientific, clinical and ethical aspects of obstetrics and gynaecology.
Supplements have a different front cover to the standard journal to enable readers to differentiate it from a regular monthly or themed issue. The pagination and citation information will clearly indicate that the publication is a supplement.
Editing or influence over content by the sponsoring organisation(s) will not be permitted. Sponsoring organisations may advertise within the supplement subject to editorial approval. Financial negotiations and transactions will be performed only by the publisher.
