SAGE Partners with the Society for Gynecologic Investigation to 
Publish their Official Journal

Thousand Oaks, California, London, United Kingdom, and New Delhi, 
India (October 24, 2006) - SAGE Publications is pleased to 
announce it will begin publishing the journal Reproductive 
Sciences on behalf of the Society for Gynecologic Investigation 
(SGI). Formerly known as the Journal of the Society for 
Gynecologic Investigation, the publication will move from 
Elsevier to SAGE in January 2007. A new cover design will debut 
with the first SAGE issue.

Reproductive Sciences publishes significant scientific papers 
advancing knowledge in all aspects of reproductive biology, 
including the disciplines of perinatology, obstetrics, 
gynecology, reproductive endocrinology, infertility, gynecologic 
oncology, and related fields. The journal's impact factor is 
2.887, and it is ranked 8 out of 57 obstetrics and gynecology 
journals in the 2005 Thomson Scientific Journal Citation Reports.

"We're pleased to add this highly regarded publication in women's 
health to our expanding collection of science and medical 
journals, many of which we publish on behalf of prestigious 
societies like SGI," commented Dr. Peter Binfield, SAGE Journals 
Editorial Director. "SAGE offers high quality publishing services 
and is well equipped to broaden the reach and impact of the 
journals we publish."

"The SGI chose SAGE to publish Reproductive Sciences after an 
extensive search," added Linda Giudice, SGI President, 2006-2007. 
"SAGE's publishing experience, in healthcare in particular, as 
well as its editorial staff, all contributed to our decision. We 
anticipate a great partnership in the future to publish research 
focused on women's health and the reproductive sciences."

New ISSN numbers have been assigned due to the title change, and 
they are 1933-7191 for print and 1933-7205 for online. 
Institutional subscriptions will include Combined (Print and 
E-access), E-access, or Print Only options. The journal will be 
available electronically on the enhanced SAGE Journals Online 
platform prior to the first print issue in January 2007. The 
journal's new homepage on SAGE Journals Online will be 
http://rs.sagepub.com.
