Danish Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (DJOG) is a not-for-profit Open Access journal that represents a new forum in the field of obstetrics and gynaecology, with the intent to publish a broad range of original, peer-reviewed papers, from scientific and clinical research to reviews and guidelines relevant to practice. It also aims to include a new platform for publishing protocols, case reports, pilot studies and Quality Assurance/Clinical Audit Projects.

Our editors have recognized the difficulties that junior doctors encounter in achieving their first publication(s) and would like to offer a platform for studies that traditionally have been difficult to get published in high-impact journals, thus including studies with negative findings. Our goal is to attract a world-wide readership due to the emphasis on practical applicability and open access.

UNESCO has stated in their Open Science recommendations that they recommend that research is "organized and financed upon an essentially not-for-profit and long-term vision, which enhance open science practices and guarantee permanent and unrestricted access to all, to the largest extent possible." This sentiment is backed up by the European Council that recommends that member states support the development of not-for-profit publication platforms. We also hope that researchers share this idealogy and help DJOG grow as a reputable journal within Obstetrics and Gynecology.
