BMC Women’s Health publishes over 100 articles

BMC Women’s Health is proud to announce that it has reached and surpassed its 100^th article milestone. The journal, launched in 2001, continues to steadily attract submissions, and publications have risen by 50% in the last three years.

The journal has published a number of high quality articles. A recent one to highlight is ‘Help-seeking behaviors for female sexual dysfunction: a cross sectional study from Iran’ by Dr Mariam Vahdaninia and colleagues which reports that, despite a high prevalence of female sexual dysfunction in Iran, many women do not seek assistance for their problem. This research indicates that there is a need to address the issue at both local and national primary health care services so as to improve women’s quality of life in this regard. The article has already been accessed over 325 times since its publication in February.

BMC Women’s Health would like to extend its thanks to Dr Vahdaninia and colleagues for their contribution to the journal. This is Prof Montazeri’s 22^nd publication in journals within the BMC series. We are also particularly grateful to Prof Montazeri for his involvement as an Associate Editor and Editorial Advisor for BMC Research Notes, an important and innovative journal that provides a home for all scientifically sound material otherwise lacking a suitable outlet.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all authors, reviewers and committed Editorial Board Members who have been involved in the successful growth of BMC Women’s Health over the last few years. Our Editorial Board has played a significant role in developing the journal by investing their time and efforts on providing their expert advice and assisting with various activities such as the recent update of the journal’s scope.

We have recently begun commissioning some short Commentary articles for the journal, written by experts within the field and focusing on important and topical subject areas. The two commissioned Commentaries published so far, ‘New paradigms in cervical cancer prevention: opportunities and risks’ and ‘Advances in hormone replacement therapy: making the menopause manageable’, have been very well received and have both been flagged as “Highly Accessed”.

If you are a researcher with an interest in the health and healthcare of adolescent girls and women, we'd like to invite you to submit your next research article to the journal. If you have any questions about BMC Women’s Health or if you would like to be involved in the journal as an author, reviewer or Associate Editor, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
