CLINICAL OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISSN 0009-9201) is a quarterly peer-reviewed journal published in the United States by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, a leading academic publisher. As a non-open access publication indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), the journal maintains an impact factor typically ranging between 1.5 and 2.5 in recent years and is generally classified within the third or fourth quartile of the CAS journal ranking for medical sciences. The journal’s scope is dedicated to the clinical aspects of obstetrics and gynecology, with a particular emphasis on comprehensive review articles that synthesize current knowledge in clinical practice, disease diagnosis and treatment, surgical techniques, perinatal medicine, and gynecologic oncology. While the journal prioritizes high-quality editorial standards and rigorous peer review, its focus on review literature rather than primary original research means it serves as a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers seeking broad, up-to-date overviews of specific topics, although readers should be mindful of the potential lag in timeliness compared to journals dedicated to original empirical studies.
