articles which remind us of the massive problems faced by women in rural India and
their unique solutions offered by members of our fraternity. Issues about rural
obstetrics, contraception, maternal mortality, infant mortality, anemia and obstetric
hemorrhage too are given the same importance and consideration during the process
of publication, as are articles on the latest developments in infertility, endoscopy,
endocrinology, newer drugs and advanced vaginal surgery.
It has been an endeavor to make the Journal reader friendly to all our subscribers.
The production value of the Journal has greatly improved and a strict editorial
process has been followed for articles published representing modern India, about
to take off as well as rural India still coping with problems like anemia, Obstetric
hemorrhage is reduced but this is as yet not acceptable levels of maternal and infant
mortality.
The Journal is a means of expression of its subscribers achievements, successes
and failures. The Journal educates, informs and sometimes provokes. The good quality
of the articles received is in no small measure due to the sustained efforts of
members of the Editorial Board to educate subscribers about the methodology and
presentation of research. Any article for publication undergoes an intense preliminary
scrutiny before being sent for a blinded peer review process. After the peer review
the Editors review and consider the article for publication.
