Sriwijaya Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology (SJOG) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal committed to disseminating high-quality, impactful research across the full spectrum of women’s reproductive health. Published by the Phlox Institute: Indonesian Medical Research Organization, SJOG appears twice a year (April & October).

Aim

The journal’s primary aim is to advance clinical practice, public-health policy, and foundational knowledge in obstetrics, gynecology, and the reproductive sciences — with a notable emphasis on the health challenges faced in developing nations and among diverse, under-served populations.

Our distinctive focus. SJOG actively welcomes research that addresses maternal mortality, equitable access to reproductive care, and the unique epidemiology of women’s health in low- and middle-income settings — bridging global evidence with local impact.

Scope — Thematic Areas

SJOG invites rigorous original research, including meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, cohort and cross-sectional studies, mixed-methods research, and significant case reports, across the following areas of obstetrics and gynecology:

Thematic area Representative topics
Maternal-Fetal Medicine & Obstetrics Strategies to reduce maternal mortality, management of high-risk pregnancies, and complex obstetric complications such as fetal malpresentation and congenital uterine anomalies (e.g. uterus bicornis).
Adolescent Gynecology & Reproductive Health Sociodemographic and psychosocial risk factors for adolescent pregnancy; nutritional interventions for conditions such as iron-deficiency anemia in female adolescents.
Gynecologic Oncology Prevention, diagnosis, and screening of gynecological cancers, including novel delivery models such as telemedicine and HPV-DNA self-sampling for cervical-cancer screening in remote populations.
Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility (REI) Determinants of success in assisted reproductive technologies (ART/IVF); prevalence, risk factors, and management of endocrine disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
