Journal of Reproduction and Fertility is a peer-reviewed scientific periodical focusing on reproductive biology, developmental physiology, and reproductive endocrinology. Established in the mid-20th century, the journal has published research spanning comparative reproduction, clinical obstetrics, andrology, and veterinary reproduction. It has been cited and used by researchers affiliated with institutions such as University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, Stanford University, Yale University, University of California, Berkeley, University of California, San Francisco, University of Chicago, Columbia University, University of Toronto, McGill University, University of Edinburgh, University of Glasgow, King's College London, Imperial College London, University of Manchester, University of Bristol, University of Melbourne, University of Sydney, Monash University, University of Queensland, University of Auckland, University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, Peking University, Tsinghua University, National University of Singapore, Seoul National University, University of Hong Kong, University of Copenhagen, Karolinska Institutet, Uppsala University, Lund University, ETH Zurich, University of Zurich, University of Geneva, McMaster University, University of British Columbia, University of Alberta, Cornell University, Princeton University, Duke University, University of Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins University, Scripps Research, Rockefeller University, Max Planck Society, Institut Pasteur, National Institutes of Health, Wellcome Trust, Medical Research Council (United Kingdom), European Molecular Biology Laboratory, European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology, American Society for Reproductive Medicine, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Royal Society, Royal Society of Biology, British Society for Reproductive Medicine, Australian and New Zealand Society for Reproductive Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Indian Council of Medical Research, Brazilian Society of Reproductive Medicine, Centre national de la recherche scientifique, Karolinska Prize, Lasker Award, Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, Wolf Prize in Medicine, Gairdner Foundation International Award, Crafoord Prize, Royal Society of Edinburgh Prize, Wellcome Medal, Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Gordon Research Conferences, FASEB, Federation of European Biochemical Societies, American Association for the Advancement of Science, British Heart Foundation, European Research Council, Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, National Science Foundation, Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, Food and Drug Administration, European Medicines Agency, World Health Organization, United Nations.
The journal was launched in 1960 amid a surge of postwar biomedical research involving investigators associated with University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, Imperial College London, University of Edinburgh, University of Glasgow, and laboratories such as Institut Pasteur, Max Planck Society, and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Early editors solicited work from figures linked to Karolinska Institutet, Harvard University, Yale University, Johns Hopkins University, and University of Chicago. During the 1970s and 1980s it intersected with policy debates involving World Health Organization, Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, and regulatory bodies such as the Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency. The journal chronicled advances contemporaneous with awards such as the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, Lasker Award, and Gairdner Foundation International Award given to researchers in reproductive science. Collaborative networks included European Molecular Biology Laboratory, Wellcome Trust, Medical Research Council (United Kingdom), National Institutes of Health, and national academies like the Royal Society.
The journal publishes original research, reviews, and commentaries on reproductive physiology, gametogenesis, embryogenesis, contraceptive technology, assisted reproductive technology, placental biology, infertility, and reproductive toxicology. Contributors have included investigators from Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Scripps Research, Rockefeller University, Cornell University, Brown University, Duke University, Princeton University, Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania, University of California, San Diego, University of California, Los Angeles, University of Minnesota, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Vanderbilt University, University of Michigan, Ohio State University, University of Wisconsin–Madison, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, University of Washington, University of British Columbia, McGill University, University of Toronto, University of Melbourne, Monash University, University of Sydney, University of Queensland, Peking University, Tsinghua University, National University of Singapore, Seoul National University, University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, ETH Zurich, University of Zurich, University of Geneva, Karolinska Institutet, Uppsala University.

Publication frequency has varied; archival volumes are held by libraries such as the British Library, Library of Congress, National Library of Medicine, Bodleian Library, Cambridge University Library, Oxford University Library. The journal follows peer review practices aligned with guidelines from Committee on Publication Ethics, International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, and funding disclosures from agencies like Wellcome Trust, European Research Council, and National Institutes of Health.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in major bibliographic services used by institutions such as National Library of Medicine, PubMed Central, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, CAB Abstracts, BIOSIS Previews, and university consortia including JSTOR, EBSCO, ProQuest, and holdings in the British Library and Library of Congress.
The journal has been cited in policy reports by World Health Organization, reviewed in outlets connected to American Society for Reproductive Medicine, and influenced clinical guidelines from bodies such as International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics and national agencies like Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority. Its impact factor has fluctuated alongside citation trends influenced by major discoveries rewarded by Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine and Lasker Award. Libraries and research departments at University of Cambridge, Harvard University, Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, University of Toronto, McGill University, Karolinska Institutet maintain subscriptions.
Notable articles include foundational studies on mammalian gametogenesis by researchers connected to Max Planck Society, Institut Pasteur, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and landmark reports on in vitro fertilization alongside work from teams at Monash University, University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, Baylor College of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Cornell University, Yale-New Haven Hospital, and collaborative multicenter trials funded by National Institutes of Health, Wellcome Trust, and European Research Council.
Print and electronic access are provided through academic libraries at British Library, Library of Congress, National Library of Medicine, Bodleian Library, Cambridge University Library, Oxford University Library, and digital platforms subscribed to by University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, University of Toronto, McGill University, University of Melbourne, University of Sydney, Peking University, Tsinghua University, National University of Singapore, Seoul National University, and other research institutions.
