Scope
BMC Women's Health is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of the health and healthcare of adolescent girls and women, with a particular focus on the prevention, diagnosis and management of fertility disorders and diseases of gynecological and breast origin, as well as related genetics, pathophysiology, epidemiology, clinical reports and controlled trials.

Quote
"I strongly believe in the internet and open-access publishing in order to achieve scientific outreach both within academia and outside academia. Open-access allows anyone in the world with access to a computer to access scientific research. These innovative journals are becoming extremely successful and will change the nature of scientific publishing and increase the accessibility of science."
