The Iraqi Journal of Embryos and Infertility Research (IJEIR) is the first Iraqi journal in the field of infertility, clinical and applied embryology, and Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs). It is the official journal of the Institute of Embryo Research and Infertility Treatment (the former name of the Institute), the High Institute of Infertility Diagnosis and Assisted Reproductive Technologies (current name) at Al Nahrain University. The first issue was released in 2011 after being included in the Global Index for journals (ISSN: 2218-0265). It has also been documented in the Iraqi National Library with an archive deposit number: 1426-2010. The journal publishes articles and research in the fields of fertility, reproduction, embryology, and reproductive genetics. It is a peer-reviewed journal that specializes in providing the possibility for researchers to publish research and clinical and academic articles specialized in reproduction and infertility in humans and animals. The journal covers many scientific topics, especially the science of reproduction, including physiology, pathology, urinary science, the science of cells, tissues, cellular genetics, and others. The journal publishes scientific articles in accordance with international standards and based on the evaluations of scientific specialists inside and outside Iraq. It is issued twice a year to stay at a high and influential scientific level, so it topped the journal within a prime location among scientific journals published by Al Nahrain University establishment. The journal is indexed in the Crossref and Iraqi Academic Scientific Journals. In addition to Publons website

Journal Scope

Scope of the Journal
The Iraqi Journal of Embryos and Infertility Researches (IJEIR) publishes original research papers, clinical studies, and academic reviews covering a wide range of topics within the fields of reproductive biology, infertility, and assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs).
Its scope encompasses both basic and applied sciences related to human and animal reproduction, with particular emphasis on the following areas:

Infertility Diagnosis and Management: Etiological studies, clinical assessment, therapeutic interventions, and novel diagnostic biomarkers.

Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs): In vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), gamete and embryo cryopreservation, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), and laboratory advancements in ART.

Reproductive Physiology and Endocrinology: Hormonal regulation, gametogenesis, ovulation, and spermatogenesis studies.

Reproductive Pathology: Molecular and histopathological mechanisms underlying infertility and reproductive disorders.

Embryology (Clinical and Applied): Early embryonic development, implantation biology, and developmental anomalies.

Genetics and Genomics of Reproduction: Chromosomal abnormalities, Y-chromosome microdeletions, mitochondrial inheritance, and epigenetic factors in fertility.

Reproductive Immunology: Immune interactions in fertilization, implantation, and recurrent pregnancy loss.

Environmental, Lifestyle, and Socio-behavioral Factors: The influence of environmental toxins, nutrition, and lifestyle habits on fertility outcomes.

Comparative and Veterinary Reproductive Science: Studies on reproductive physiology and ART applications in animal models.

The journal encourages multidisciplinary research bridging clinical medicine, molecular biology, genetics, and reproductive technology, aiming to advance knowledge and improve fertility care in Iraq and the broader scientific community.
