Focus and Scope

The Journal presents original articles, review articles, clinical vignettes, letters to the editor and other papers within the field of gynecology, obstetrics, gynecologic oncology and other, directly related areas.
Peer Review Process
All registered manuscripts undergo preliminary evaluation by the Editorial Office. If the manuscript is prepared against guidelines, is written in poor English and/or addresses non-related topic, it will be rejected without review. If manuscript meets all merit and formal requirements, it is deemed eligible for a review by at least two independent reviewers. Reviewers know the authors' identity (single blind review). The list of Reviewers is announced once a year. The review process should be completed within 2 weeks. The Editor-in-Chief reserves the right to make the final decision about accepting or rejecting a manuscript and also the right to reject a manuscript if it addresses non-related topics. Also, the Editorial Board (Publisher) reserves the right to edit (style, syntax, terminology, references) and shorten the manuscript without consulting the Authors.
