The journal Birth Defects Research publishes original research and reviews in areas related to the etiology of adverse developmental and reproductive outcome. In particular the journal is devoted to the publication of original scientific research that contributes to the understanding of the biology of embryonic development and the prenatal causative factors and mechanisms leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes, namely structural and functional birth defects, pregnancy loss, postnatal functional defects in the human population, and to the identification of prenatal factors and biological mechanisms that reduce these risks.

Adverse reproductive and developmental outcomes may have genetic, environmental, nutritional or epigenetic causes. Accordingly, the journal Birth Defects Research takes an integrated, multidisciplinary approach in its organization and publication strategy. The journal Birth Defects Research contains separate sections for clinical and molecular teratology, developmental and reproductive toxicology, and reviews in developmental biology to acknowledge and accommodate the integrative nature of research in this field. Each section has a dedicated editor who is a leader in his/her field and who has full editorial authority in his/her area.

《出生缺陷研究》杂志发表与不良发育和生殖结果病因学相关领域的原创研究和评论。该杂志特别致力于发表原创科学研究，这些研究有助于了解胚胎发育的生物学和导致不良妊娠结果的产前致病因素和机制，即人类结构性和功能性出生缺陷、流产、产后功能性缺陷，并有助于确定降低这些风险的产前因素和生物学机制。

不良生殖和发育结果可能有遗传、环境、营养或表观遗传原因。因此，《出生缺陷研究》杂志在其组织和出版策略中采用了综合、多学科的方法。《出生缺陷研究》杂志包含临床和分子畸形学、发育和生殖毒理学以及发育生物学评论的单独部分，以承认和适应该领域研究的综合性质。每个部分都有一位专门的编辑，他们是其领域的领导者，并拥有其领域内的完全编辑权。

该刊已被国际权威数据库SCIE收录，该刊致力于发表经过严格同行评审的高质量原创文章，反映Medicine-Embryology领域的新进展、新技术、新成果，促进该领域科研交流和科研成果转化。该刊2023年影响因子为1.6，平均审稿速度为 ，近四年来没有被列入预警名单。如果您需要投稿发表服务及指导，可以联系我们的客服老师，我们专业专注服务期刊投稿协助10年，为您提供期刊投稿个性化定制服务，并且我们确保严格保密您的个人信息及稿件内容。
