Birth Defects Research Part B: Developmental and Reproductive Toxicology (BDRB) will be devoted to the publication of original papers describing the effects of chemical, biological, or physical agents on any aspect of the reproductive cycle, including the endocrine control of reproduction and development. This will include safety studies and related studies that are intended to shed light on the mechanism of action of a toxicant or its risk to humans. Papers describing safety studies will be judged solely on their quality, rather than whether the study showed an adverse effect. We will also publish letters to the editor, short reviews, and commentaries.
