About the Journal of Fertility Biomarkers
Advancing reproductive science through rigorous research on biomarkers that define, measure, and predict fertility outcomes across the human reproductive lifespan.
JFB's editorial scope encompasses the full spectrum of reproductive biology, with particular emphasis on biomarkers that can be measured, validated, and applied to understand fertility mechanisms. We welcome research investigating the biological foundations of reproductive capacity rather than clinical diagnosis or therapeutic interventions.
Gonadotropins, sex steroids, thyroid function, prolactin, AMH, inhibins, and hormonal biomarkers of ovarian reserve, spermatogenesis, and reproductive cyclicity.
Oocyte maturation markers, sperm quality indicators, gamete metabolomics, oxidative stress biomarkers, and cellular/molecular determinants of fertilization competence.
Preimplantation embryo biomarkers, developmental stage indicators, metabolic signatures, gene expression patterns, and morphological assessment parameters.
Menstrual cycle biology, ovarian folliculogenesis, endometrial receptivity markers, testicular function, spermatogenesis dynamics, and reproductive aging mechanisms.
Genomic variants affecting fertility, DNA methylation patterns, histone modifications, non-coding RNAs, and hereditary factors influencing reproductive capacity.
Signal transduction in reproduction, gene regulation networks, protein biomarkers, metabolite profiling, and systems biology approaches to fertility mechanisms.
Impact of nutrition, body composition, physical activity, stress, environmental exposures, and lifestyle factors on fertility biomarkers and reproductive outcomes.
Assay development, analytical validation, reference ranges, longitudinal profiling, omics technologies, and novel techniques for biomarker discovery and measurement.
JFB offers reproductive scientists a specialized platform combining rigorous peer review with the visibility and accessibility advantages of open access publishing. Our editorial approach prioritizes methodological rigor, reproducibility, and translational potential while maintaining rapid review and publication timelines.

JFB provides multiple convenient submission pathways to accommodate author preferences. Manuscripts undergo initial editorial screening followed by expert peer review, with decisions typically communicated within weeks of submission.
- Online Form: User-friendly web-based submission with guided upload process.
- Email Submission: Direct manuscript delivery to [email protected] with cover letter and required files.
- Manuscript Zone: Secure author portal for submission tracking and file management throughout the review process.
All submissions should follow JFB's Instructions for Authors and include structured abstracts, keywords, ethical statements, and appropriate biomarker methodology descriptions.
JFB operates on an author-pays model with Article Processing Charges (APCs) applied only after manuscript acceptance. This sustainable approach ensures immediate, unrestricted access to published research while maintaining editorial independence and review quality. Authors retain copyright under CC BY 4.0, permitting reuse with attribution.

"I was impressed by the swift services of the journal and easy navigation beginning from manuscript submission to galley proof. I would recommend future authors: 'Consider this journal if you are wondering where to publish your scientific work.' They are Google Scholar indexed and so you do not have to worry if your scientific work won't reach the community of other researchers."
"The positive editorial attitude and cooperation were encouraging and supportive of the author. Moreover, fast response and processing of the manuscript reflect an appreciation of the time factor. In addition to the user-friendly submission system that allows for up-to-date follow-up. The review process is performed in reasonable time with constructive comments that aim to improve the paper quality. Communication in such way between the authors and the journals is not something that is common nowadays."
