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.
