Assisted Reproductive Medicine (ART), more than any other specialty in medicine, has evolved in the last three decades into a multidisciplinary subject, which not only initiates with the beginning of life but also has recently equaled and perhaps surpassed, the possibility of producing a normal, healthy baby compared to natural fertility.
At the onset of the history of this specialty, very few Centers existed around the world and were placed in very affluent locations that were able to make large investments in the opening of specialty clinics. Nowadays, this specialty has also evolved to be more universal and almost all countries have several clinics of excellence that offer their people treatments in a non-discriminatory fashion.
At the same time that society at large has become much more open and respectful toward minority groups, Assisted Reproductive Medicine has become more inclusive to all groups of society, including people of the LGTBQ+ community that desire to have their own progeny.
ART nowadays is formed by multiple associations with different fields of science such as molecular genetics, chemistry, engineering and physics (such as in Artificial Intelligence), philosophy including bioethics, and psychology, among many others. ART is today a combination of Academics studying their corner of laboratory work, private enterprises involved in the creation of new tools and machinery, and in many countries, governmental intervention to facilitate treatments for the more undeserved economical population.
The Journal of Reproduction is a new Project that aims to offer its readers the most advanced topics of clinical science, research, and new areas of investigation in the field of Assisted Reproduction.
The Journal of Reproduction will be an online production, appearing quarterly, and, will be free of charge to all potential writers interested.
I want to personally thank all the members of the Editorial Board, a Dream Team of experts from all over the world, who have accepted to join in this new adventure without hesitation.
Also, to our Editorial Committee that will be working hard reviewing the initial incoming manuscripts, I extend my sincere appreciation.
We hope that this enterprise will be a successful one to gain a place in the literature of this fascinating specialty of medicine.
Welcome to all.
