Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cognizant of the global increase in the incidence of male factor infertility, this Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Science is developed to present a fitting and comprehensive examination of the current research data and inferences drawn from them that are predictive of male infertility. The prospective manuscripts in this Special Issue will address the desperate need for the elucidation of in-depth mechanistic factors that drive normal male reproduction, the deviation from which can contribute to male factor infertility. Consequently, useful data will be provided to researchers in infertility laboratories to develop explanation(s) for such deviations and possible interventions. Furthermore, useful data will be provided to physicians working in male infertility clinics for the management of male factor infertility. By spotlighting nascent trends and multiple viewpoints, this Special Issue is structured to stimulate more molecular research that will lead to advanced knowledge in the underlying cause(s) of male factor infertility.
Dr. Anthony Archibong

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
