PLACENTA

PLACENTA (ISSN 0143-4004) is a monthly international peer-reviewed journal published by Elsevier in the United Kingdom, dedicated to advancing the scientific understanding of the placenta. As a non-open access publication indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), it serves as a key venue for disseminating high-quality research across the spectrum of placental biology, pathology, and clinical applications. The journal welcomes a diverse array of manuscript types, including original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and case reports, with a particular focus on placental development, physiological functions, disease mechanisms, and the pathophysiology of pregnancy-related complications. While its specific impact factor and CAS ranking fluctuate and should be verified against the latest JCR and institutional partition tables, PLACENTA maintains a recognized standing within the fields of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology. Researchers are encouraged to carefully assess the alignment of their work with the journal’s scope and consider current submission metrics, as its citation profile reflects a specialized niche within the broader reproductive health landscape.
