Journal of Embryology - Call for Papers
Advancing developmental biology through open access publishing
Priority Topics and Scope
The Journal of Embryology invites submissions that advance understanding of early development, organogenesis, reproductive biology, and developmental genetics.
We welcome clinical, translational, and basic science studies that improve knowledge of embryonic development, stem cell differentiation, and congenital disease mechanisms.
Interdisciplinary research connecting embryology with genomics, epigenetics, developmental toxicology, and regenerative medicine is strongly encouraged.
Studies with clear methodology, reproducible data practices, and translational relevance receive priority for efficient review.
Manuscripts that address clinical outcomes, imaging innovations, and developmental disorder diagnostics are especially valued.
We encourage research on fertilization biology, implantation, placentation, and early lineage specification across model systems and human studies.
Submissions exploring embryo culture methods, IVF outcomes, and assisted reproductive technologies are welcome when ethical standards are met.
We value studies that integrate imaging, single cell analysis, and computational modeling to explain developmental trajectories.
Reports that clarify environmental, genetic, or epigenetic influences on development are highly relevant to the journal scope.
Real world clinical evidence, population data, and registry analyses that improve counseling and outcomes are encouraged.
Negative or replication studies that refine developmental pathways or challenge assumptions are considered when methods are rigorous.
All submissions should include clear reporting of developmental stages, model organisms, and experimental conditions for reproducibility.
We welcome submissions on embryo implantation biology, placental development, and maternal fetal interactions.
Research on developmental toxicology, teratogenic exposures, and safety assessment is encouraged when rigorously designed.
Studies using model organisms should clearly describe developmental staging and relevance to human development.
We value datasets that combine imaging, genomics, and functional assays to clarify developmental mechanisms.
Submissions should include clear data availability statements and ethical approvals where applicable.
Clinical embryology manuscripts should report outcomes, laboratory protocols, and quality control procedures.
We encourage translational studies that improve diagnostic pathways for congenital and developmental disorders.
High quality review articles synthesizing evidence across subdisciplines are a priority.
We invite work on gametogenesis, fertilization mechanisms, and early cleavage events.
Manuscripts on neural tube, cardiac, and craniofacial development are within scope.
Studies of placental insufficiency, preeclampsia, and fetal growth restriction are welcomed when linked to developmental biology.
Submissions on epigenetic reprogramming and imprinting during early development are encouraged.
We encourage method papers that introduce validated protocols or imaging workflows for embryo analysis.
