Birth Defects Research (BDR)

Birth Defects Research is a leading peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to advancing understanding of the biological and environmental causes of adverse reproductive outcomes and congenital abnormalities. Published by Wiley on behalf of the Society for Birth Defects Research and Prevention, the journal emerged in its current consolidated form in 2017 following the merger of several specialized sections that previously published as part of the Birth Defects Research series. The journal releases about 20 issues annually and serves as an international platform for scientists, clinicians, and public health researchers working across a range of disciplines including developmental biology, reproductive toxicology, epidemiology, genetics, and clinical teratology. Its content spans original research studies, systematic reviews, and multidisciplinary investigations that illuminate the mechanisms leading to structural and functional birth defects, pregnancy loss, infertility, and related reproductive health concerns. By integrating cellular- and molecular-level discoveries with population-based research and clinical insights, Birth Defects Research fosters scientific exchange that contributes to both basic biological understanding and translational advances. The journal emphasizes identifying prenatal risk factors and biological mechanisms that can inform prevention strategies, improve maternal-fetal outcomes, and guide evidence-based health policy.
