Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding reproductive=yes to the {{

for more details). This will automatically place the article into the correct category.

The reproductive-imp parameter may be used to indicate the importance of the topic within reproductive medicine. If it is not specified, then the general WPMED importance will be used.

Please remember that improving articles is ultimately much more important than tagging them.

This task force improves articles related to reproductive medicine in these categories:

• Category:Birth control
• Category:Human reproduction
• Category:Pregnancy
• Category:Fertility
• Category:Sexual health

Journal summarizing is the activity of subscribing to (or by other means regularly getting access to) an academic journal and briefly summarizing its entries in Wikipedia. Often, information given in the abstract is enough for a summary. These summaries are written at the appropriate location in Wikipedia. Sometimes, multiple locations are needed, such as for example a study on the adverse effects of a disease in pregnancy having an summary both at the Wikipedia article on the disease itself as well as in

. Many journal articles have keywords listed, which can help in finding appropriate locations in Wikipedia by finding the Wikipedia articles corresponding to those keywords.

As of November 2013,

that are being regularly summarized are:

• Human Reproduction Update, by Mikael Häggström
  , making summaries on approximately 80% of the articles in this journal since 2012
• OB/GYN articles from The New England Journal of Medicine, by Mikael Häggström, since October 2013

You can adopt a journal as well! OB/GYN journals needing summarizing include:

• OB/GYN articles from The Lancet, ranked second in impact factor among general medical journals in 2012.^[1]
• BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. It is formerly known as British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.^[2]
• AJOG
• EJOG: European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology^[3]
• Obstetrics & Gynecology (journal)
• Placenta (journal)

You can start by only summarizing the

of the journal article, you can simply add them as for example
<ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.1016/j.iheduc.2003.11.004}}</ref>
or
<ref>{{cite journal|pmid=24197398}}</ref>

You'll notice that the Wikipedia articles often need creation of a new section, some reorganizing of content, and sometimes removal of obsolete and/or unreferenced text before adding the summary. These edits are just as welcome as the addition of the summary itself. Rarely, there is no article for the study topic of interest, and a new one needs to be created. In case of any uncertainty, don't hesitate to ask at the Reproductive medicine task force talk page.
