Abstract

This short communication highlighted the role of Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBG) journals in enabling evidence-based maternal and women’s health through a preliminary search of PubMed database for articles analyzing obstetrics and gynecology journals and found five studies: on Spanish contribution in authorship, study designs, mislabeling of case-control studies, quality of randomized controlled trials, and citation accuracy. There is dearth need to evaluate the role of OBG journals through more systematic studies on reporting and publication characteristics in order to encourage Evidence-based OBG practice, education and research. 

Keywords: Gynecological research; Gynecological journals; Gynecological publications; Evidence-based obstetrics and gynecology.
