STM publisher Springer, Germany, has announced that it will publish the Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics (JARG) in cooperation with the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), starting January 2009. A Springer journal since 1984, JARG will gain not only a new sponsoring society in the ASRM, but also a new design, new features, and new editor-in-chief. The new editor-in-chief, drawn from the Society's ranks, will be appointed shortly.
The Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics focuses on basic research in the science of assisted reproduction. It publishes original contributions and review articles covering human and animal data relevant to the process of in vitro fertilisation and embryo replacement. Leading experts present the latest advances in a variety of topics, including assisted reproductive technologies, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures affecting the treatment of infertility, genetics of early gestation, laboratory sciences affecting the diagnosis and treatment of infertility, pharmacology and technology of assisted reproduction, and regulatory issues.
Members of the ASRM will receive free access to the journal online, and be able to purchase print subscriptions at discounted rates.
