Editorial

Abstract

This issue of Reproduction sees the first in a new initiative from its Editors -the Focus issues. Focus issues are designed to bring together reviews and research papers in areas of Reproductive Biology that have seen recent rapid developments. The first of these is Focus on Fertilization. This will be followed in September by Focus on ART and in December by Focus on Implantation. For each issue a 'guest' editor will commission 3 -4 reviews and we will be inviting research paper submissions on the topic. If you are reading this in the Journal more information on submission deadlines for these Focus issues is available via www.reproduction-online.org. To satisfy the wider interests of the readers of Reproduction each Focus issue will also contain research articles on the broad range of subjects we strive to cover each month. The Focus issues will provide a resource for experts, students and teachers alike and will form the basis of Focus collections, where past papers and any future papers on the theme will be bundled together online for ease of access.
