Women’s Health delivers the highest quality peer-reviewed, open access, original research articles, reviews, and scholarly comment on pioneering efforts and innovative research from all disciplines related to women’s health globally.

The journal is committed to publishing multidisciplinary research that spans the whole spectrum of women’s health and acknowledges women’s health research is needed by more than just cisgender women (women whose gender aligns with their assigned sex at birth). Trans men and women are often left out of women’s health conversations and non-binary, genderqueer and gender non-confirming individuals also have specific health needs that should be explored.

The Editors welcome international contributions particularly from those living in low-middle income countries.

Women’s health covers themes including but not limited to:

· Addiction

· Bone Health

· Breast Health

· Cardiovascular Health

· Contraception and Family Planning

· Disabilities

· Endocrinology

· Gender-based Violence

· Gynaecology

· Health Disparities

· Infectious Disease

· Internal Medicine

· LGBTQIA+ Health

· Menopause

· Mental Health

· Nutrition

· Obstetrics

· Oncology

· Paediatrics and Adolescent Health

· Sex and Gender Differences in Disease

· Telemedicine

· Urology

· Women’s Health and Race

The primary aim of Women’s Health is to provide universally accessible and digestible content to all stakeholders involved in women’s health. It provides a unique forum for dissemination of high-quality content applicable to researchers, clinicians and allied health practitioners, patients, social scientists, industry and government.

Review articles include expert opinion/perspective, narrative reviews and therapeutic area reviews. Systematic reviews, meta-analyses, post-marketing and health economic and pharmacoeconomic reviews are also welcomed. The appropriate EQUATOR Network reporting guidelines should be followed (e.g. CONSORT for randomized, controlled trials and PRISMA for systematic reviews/meta-analyses).

The journal adheres to a single-blind review process in which the reviewer's name is routinely withheld from the author unless the reviewer requests a preference for their identity to be revealed. Manuscripts are reviewed by at least two referees.
