Is your work a fit? Check before you write

  1. Address a fertility biomarker or monitoring approach with a clear link to reproductive health.
  2. Describe assay or device methods, reference standards and validation in sufficient detail.
  3. Report diagnostic or prognostic accuracy using an appropriate reporting guideline.
  4. Confirm accepted article types and article processing charges on the official call page.
  5. Submit a complete, co-author-approved manuscript before 15 April 2027.

Why This Call Is a Priority Now

Fertility assessment increasingly draws on molecular markers, hormonal profiles and digital monitoring devices, yet many biomarkers lack robust validation or standardised thresholds. Clinicians and patients need reliable tools to guide decisions about conception, fertility preservation and assisted reproduction. A Research Topic spanning laboratory science and monitoring technologies allows authors to connect discovery with clinical utility and reach readers in reproductive medicine who are working towards more individualised care.

  • Clinical biochemistry and laboratory medicine
  • Biomedical engineering and digital health
  • Obstetrics and gynaecology

What the Editors Typically Value

  1. Validation studies that establish the accuracy and reproducibility of a fertility biomarker.
  2. Research comparing home or wearable monitoring with laboratory or ultrasound reference standards.
  3. Prognostic models that combine biomarkers to predict reproductive outcomes for individual patients.
  4. Studies that address standardisation of assays or thresholds across laboratories and populations.

Paper Ideas You Could Develop

Wearable ovulation detectionA validation study comparing ovulation detection by a wearable temperature sensor with serum hormone measurements and ultrasound.
AMH and IVF outcomesA cohort study examining how anti-Müllerian hormone levels combine with clinical factors to predict live birth after in vitro fertilisation.
Sperm DNA fragmentation reviewA systematic review of the predictive value of sperm DNA fragmentation testing for assisted reproduction outcomes.

Your Plan to the Deadline

A suggested schedule working back from 15 April 2027. Adjust it to the stage your work has reached.

  1. By 1 Mar 2027

    Open the official collection page and the Frontiers in Medicine submission guidelines; confirm the scope, article types and guest editors.

  2. By 15 Mar 2027

    Write a one-paragraph statement of your research question, design and the contribution your paper makes to the collection.

  3. By 25 Mar 2027

    Complete the analysis and agree the key findings, figures and tables with your co-authors.

  4. By 5 Apr 2027

    Draft the full manuscript to the Frontiers in Medicine article type and the relevant reporting guideline.

  5. By 10 Apr 2027

    Circulate the draft to co-authors and an independent reader; revise for clarity, accuracy and completeness.

  6. By 13 Apr 2027

    Complete final checks: formatting, references, declarations, data availability statement and cover letter.

  7. By 15 Apr 2027

    Submit through the journal’s online system, selecting the collection, after re-checking the official call page.

What you gain from publishing here

  • Publication in Frontiers in Medicine, reaching readers working on this topic.
  • A themed collection that groups your paper with related work.
  • Editorial and peer feedback that can strengthen the work, whatever the decision.
  • A peer-reviewed output for your CV, thesis or grant reporting.

What happens after you submit

  1. Submission: upload through the Frontiers in Medicine online system and select the collection.
  2. Editorial screening: the editors check fit with the collection; papers outside its scope may be returned without review.
  3. Peer review: suitable papers are sent to reviewers under the journal’s review model.
  4. Revision and decision: respond to each reviewer comment and keep a record of the changes.
  5. Production: accepted papers move to proofs and open access publication, with the article processing charge set out by the publisher.

What the Collection Is Looking For

The Research Topic seeks work that advances fertility biomarker science and its application to precision reproductive health, from molecular markers to monitoring technologies. In keeping with the section’s clinical remit, studies that demonstrate validity, reproducibility and clinical usefulness are likely to be of particular interest, as are reviews that consolidate the evidence. Authors should confirm accepted article types and article processing charges on the official call page.
