Birth Defects Research
Published by John Wiley & Sons
eISSN : 2472-1727
Abbreviation : Birth Defect Res.
Aims & Scope
The journal Birth Defects Research publishes original research and reviews in areas related to the etiology of adverse developmental and reproductive outcome.
In particular the journal is devoted to the publication of original scientific research that contributes to the understanding of the biology of embryonic development and the prenatal causative factors and mechanisms leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes, namely structural and functional birth defects, pregnancy loss, postnatal functional defects in the human population, and to the identification of prenatal factors and biological mechanisms that reduce these risks.
Adverse reproductive and developmental outcomes may have genetic, environmental, nutritional or epigenetic causes.
Accordingly, the journal Birth Defects Research takes an integrated, multidisciplinary approach in its organization and publication strategy.
The journal Birth Defects Research contains separate sections for clinical and molecular teratology, developmental and reproductive toxicology, and reviews in developmental biology to acknowledge and accommodate the integrative nature of research in this field.
Each section has a dedicated editor who is a leader in his/her field and who has full editorial authority in his/her area.
