International Journal of Women's Health
The following Article Collection/ Thematic Series is currently open for submissions:
We are pleased to announce a new Article Collection in the International Journal of Women’s Health, dedicated to the game-changing role of screening in the management of cervical cancer. Since their introduction, cervical cancer screening programs have revolutionized patient care, offering significant benefits in the early detection and prevention of advanced disease. As a cost-effective public health strategy, screening has reduced cervical cancer mortality rates worldwide, particularly in countries with organized screening programs.
Given its global importance, the International Journal of Women’s Health is welcoming the submission of original research articles, reviews, and perspectives on the topic of cervical cancer screening.
The collection, edited by the Editor-In-Chief Professor Elie D. Al-Chaer, is part of the new Game Changer series of Article Collections, focusing on breakthrough therapies, technologies, or protocols that have significantly altered the standard of care.
While the call is open to receive manuscripts across the broad spectrum of screening in cervical cancer, the Editors are particularly interested in manuscripts relating to the following areas:
- Technological advancements in screening methods: HPV-based testing, AI-assisted cytology, and novel biomarkers for early detection.
- Addressing health disparities: strategies to improve screening access in low-resource settings, marginalized communities, and high-risk populations.
- Implementation challenges: cost-effectiveness, national program scalability, and overcoming cultural/behavioral barriers to screening adherence.
- Follow-up and clinical management: protocols for abnormal results, colposcopy, biopsy and treatment of precancerous lesions, balancing overtreatment risks and undertreatment delays
- Emerging paradigms: role of self-sampling, telemedicine, and vaccination-screening synergies in eradicating cervical cancer.
Papers published within the Game Changer series will benefit from additional promotional activities across Taylor and Francis, increasing the discoverability and visibility of your research.
All manuscripts submitted to this Article Collection will undergo desk assessment and a full peer-review. Please review the journal scope and author submission instructions prior to submitting a manuscript. The deadline for submitting manuscripts is 1 April 2026.
Please submit your manuscript on our website, quoting the promo code 2341B for a 20% discount on the Article Processing Charge and to indicate that your submission is for consideration in this Article Collection.

- It is an open access journal which means that your paper is available to anyone in the world to download for free directly from the Dove website.
- Although the International Journal of Women's Health receives many papers, unlike many traditional journals, your paper will not be rejected due to lack of space. We are an electronic journal and there are no limits on the number or size of the papers we can publish.
- The time from submission to a decision being made on a paper can, in many journals, take some months and this is very frustrating for authors. The International Journal of Women's Health has a quicker turnaround time than this. Generally peer review is complete within 3-4 weeks and the editor’s decision within 2-14 days of this. It is therefore very rare to have to wait more than 6 weeks for first editorial decision.
- Many authors have found that our peer reviewer’s comments substantially add to their final papers.
To recover our editorial and production costs and continue to provide our content at no cost to readers we charge authors or their institution an article publishing charge.
