John Wiley & Sons and the Teratology Society are pleased to announce a new journal, Birth Defects Research . This new journal is a comprehensive resource of original research and reviews in fields related to embryo-fetal development and reproduction. Birth Defects Research draws from the expertise and reputation of two current Wiley journals, and introduces a new forum for reviews in developmental biology and embryology. The new journal consists of three parts:
Part A: Clinical and Molecular Teratology , formerly published as Teratology
Part B: Developmental and Reproductive Toxicology , formerly published as Teratogenesis, Carcinogenesis and Mutagenesis
Part C: Embryo Today: Reviews

Instructions to Authors
Birth Defects Research Part A offers authors the option of immediate Open Access for a fee. For details please go to Funded Access
NIH Public Access Mandate For those interested in the Wiley-Blackwell policy on the NIH Public Access Mandate, please visit our policy statement
Online Submission: Manuscripts should be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/bdr-wiley. Check for an existing account. If you are submitting for the first time, and you do not have an existing account, create a new account.
Submit manuscript, tables, and figures as separate files. You do not need to mail any paper copies of your manuscript. At the end of a successful submission, a confirmation screen with manuscript number will appear and you will receive an e-mail confirming that the manuscript has been received by the journal. If this does not happen, please check your submission and/or contact tech support at edsupport@wiley.com
Manuscript Formats: Only manuscripts in English will be considered. They should be organized as follows: title page, abstract, key words, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, acknowledgments, literature cited,table and figure legends. The title page must include: title, full name of author(s), complete affiliations for all authors, grant information and grant numbers, a running title not to exceed 45 characters and spaces, and the name, address, phone and fax number, and e-mail address of the corresponding author. The abstract should not exceed 250 words and should be formatted to serve in lieu of a concluding summary. It should concisely state the significant findings without reference to the rest of the paper. Append three to eight key words at the end of the abstract.
Original Article : Manuscripts in this category describe the results of original research conducted in the broad area of congenital defects. The manuscript should be presented in the format of Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion. The abstract should be structured as follows: Background, Methods, Results, and Conclusions (250-word limit).
Brief Report: Narrower in scope than Original Articles, Brief Reports may present results of studies involving small sample sizes,introduce new methodologies, report new developments, or describe preliminary results that are experimentally well documented. The Methods should be sufficiently detailed to permit replication of the work. Results and Discussion should be separate sections. Brief Reports should not exceed 2000 words of text, 2 tables or figures, and 25 references. The abstract should follow the same form (structured) and word length (not >250 words) as required for Original Articles.
Review: Review articles focus on topics of broad scientific interest to investigators in the area of birth defects research. Although such articles are usually solicited by the Editors, the journal will consider author-initiated proposals. Please contact the editorial office if you wish to propose a review article.
Case Report: These articles may describe one or more cases of a unique or rare clinical syndrome. The abstract for a Case Report should be structured as Background, Case(s), and Conclusions. The text should use the following format: Introduction, Case Report, and Discussion. The Discussion is expected to place the subject(s) of the Case Report in the context of the published literature on the same or related birth defect and to discuss the possible pathogenesis of the malformation.
Hypothesis: These articles present new data that lead to a specific hypothesis warranting further research (see BDRA 67 (3):149-153,2003 and 67(6):403-408, 2003 for examples). The format of Hypothesis articles should follow those outlined for original articles.
Teratogen Update: These articles review in detail the epidemiology, animal data, pharmacokinetics, toxicokinetics, or mechanism of action of a particular teratogenic agent or group of agents,e.g.,anticonvulsants. These in-depth articles are usually solicited by the Teratogen Update Editor, but the journal will consider proposals from potential authors.
Guidelines: These articles set forth guidelines related to the understanding and prevention of birth defects (see BDRA 67 (3):193-201,2003 for an example). Guidelines should be formatted with the same organization as original articles. Workshop Summary: Summaries of workshops with a focus on birth defect-related topics will be considered. Authors interested in submitting such a summary should contact the editorial office.
Commentary: These are typically solicited by the Editor and are published in the same issue as the article that is the focus of the commentary.
Correspondence: Letters to the Editor must refer to an article that appeared within the previous 2 months. The text of the letter should be brief (not >500 words), and the letter may include 1 table or figure and 10 references. No new data may be presented. Letters to the Editor will be sent to the authors of the initial article for response. If accepted, both letters will be published in the same issue.
Book review: Books referred to the journal for possible review will be screened by the Book Review Editor for broad appeal to the general readership. Authors should include several suggestions for experts in the field who would be highly qualified to review the book.
