Human Reproduction (journal)

Human Reproduction (journal) is a biology topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Human Reproduction (journal) rather than just read about it. In short: Human Reproduction is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all aspects of human reproduction, including reproductive physiology and pathology, endocrinology, andrology, gonad function, gametogenesis, fertilization, embryo development, implantation, pregnancy, genetics, preimplantation genetic diagnosis, oncology, infectious disease, surgery, contraception, infertility treatment, psychology, ethics, and social…

Key takeaways

Human Reproduction (journal) belongs to biology; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Human Reproduction (journal) to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Human Reproduction (journal) from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Human Reproduction is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all aspects of human reproduction, including reproductive physiology and pathology, endocrinology, andrology, gonad function, gametogenesis, fertilization, embryo development, implantation, pregnancy, genetics, preimplantation genetic diagnosis, oncology, infectious disease, surgery, contraception, infertility treatment, psychology, ethics, and social issues. It is an official journal of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology. It was established in 1986 with Robert Edwards as founding editor-in-chief.

Spin-off journals The journals Human Reproduction Update and Molecular Human Reproduction are spin-offs from Human Reproduction that were established in 1995. The main journal concentrates on original research, clinical case studies, as well as opinions and debates on topical issues. Human Reproduction Update is a bimonthly review journal. According to the Journal Citation Reports its 2019 impact factor is 12.684, ranking it first in the categories "Obstetrics and Gynaecology" (out of 79) and "Reproductive Biology" (out of 30). Molecular Human Reproduction focuses on molecular aspects of reproductive biology and is published monthly. According to the Journal Citation Reports its 2019 impact factor is 3.636, ranking it 10th out of 41 in the category "Developmental Biology" and 6th out of 29 in the category "Reproductive Biology".

Abstracting and indexing All three journals are abstracted and indexed in Biological Abstracts, BIOSIS Previews, Current Contents, EMBASE/Excerpta Medica, PubMed/MEDLINE, ProQuest, and the Science Citation Index.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Human Reproduction (journal)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Human Reproduction (journal) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Human Reproduction (journal) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Human Reproduction (journal) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Human Reproduction (journal)

In research: Human Reproduction (journal) appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Human Reproduction (journal) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Human Reproduction (journal) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Academic journals established in 1986, Academic journals established in 1995, Bimonthly journals, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Human Reproduction (journal) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
