Aims & Scope
The Journal of Clinical Obstetrics & Gynecology Research (JOCOGR) is a peer-reviewed, open access clinical obstetrics and gynecology journal published by Directive Publications. It disseminates rigorous, clinically relevant scholarship spanning maternal-fetal medicine, gynecologic oncology, urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders, reproductive endocrinology, contraception, and obstetric and gynecologic surgery, connecting clinicians, researchers, and trainees on an internationally accessible platform.
The journal welcomes original research, systematic reviews, narrative reviews, case reports, and editorials on high-risk pregnancy, preeclampsia and hypertensive disorders, gestational diabetes mellitus, fetal growth restriction, obstetric critical care, postpartum hemorrhage, endometrial and cervical disease, pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, obstetric fistula, and family planning. We value robust study design, biomarker and risk-prediction work, and translational findings that improve maternal and women's health outcomes.
Every submission undergoes double-blind peer review. Accepted articles are published open access under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY 4.0) licence with authors retaining copyright, and each receives a permanent Crossref DOI for citability and long-term preservation. Content is discoverable through OpenAlex and Google Scholar and exposed via an OAI-PMH endpoint for harvesting.
Directive Publications follows COPE ethical principles. An article-processing charge applies on acceptance, with waivers and discounts available to support equitable participation. Researchers and clinicians worldwide are invited to read JOCOGR and to submit their manuscripts.
