About this journal
Objective
CRPM is the official journal of the International Academy of Perinatal Medicine (IAPM) and the World Association of Perinatal Medicine (WAPM).
CRPM covers the entire field of perinatal medicine. It is an essential news source for all obstetricians, neonatologists, perinatologists and other healthcare professionals who want to keep up to date with advances in perinatal and related research. In addition to evidence-based studies, practitioners in clinical practice particularly appreciate exemplary case reports that highlight specific manifestations of diseases, their progression or their treatment. Case reports can describe new or unusual diagnoses, unusual outcome or prognoses, new or rarely used therapies and side effects of therapies that are not normally discovered in clinical trials. The aim of case reports and case series is:
- Recognition and description of new diseases
- Detection of drug side effects (adverse or beneficial)
- Study of the mechanisms of disease
- Medical education and audit
- Recognition of rare manifestations of disease
CRPM is published continuously. All articles submitted for publication in CRPM are subject to double-anonymized peer review by at least two experts in the field, selected and invited by the Editor-in-Chief and a dedicated editorial team. CRPM publishes only English-language articles.
CRPM is an open access journal. To sustain the publication of all fully peer-reviewed manuscripts, each article accepted for publication in CRPM is subject to an article processing charge (APC), paid by the authors' affiliated institutions, funders, sponsors or institutions that have an agreement with us.
