The Journal of Midwifery (JoM), indexed under the ASJC code "2919 - Midwifery", stands as a luminary, peer-reviewed academic publication steered by the Undergraduate Program of Midwifery, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Andalas, Padang, Indonesia. With the valuable collaboration of the Asosiasi Pendidikan Kebidanan Indonesia (AIPKIND), JoM unfurls as a pivotal conduit for avant-garde research and deep-seated insights within the sphere of midwifery.

Markedly in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 5 (Gender Equality), JoM is resolutely committed to advancing maternal and neonatal health, championing reproductive rights, and fostering women’s empowerment. Our rich content, ranging from sexual and reproductive health to neonatal care intricacies, not only mirrors the aspirations of these SDGs but also actively contributes to their realization.

Our commitment to quality education, mirroring SDG 4, is reflected in our endeavour to disseminate comprehensive knowledge, encompassing both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies. Through diverse original research articles, insightful reviews, succinct short communications, and detailed case reports, JoM casts light on pivotal aspects of family planning paradigms, menopause, and the expansive spectrum of reproductive rights.

In embracing broader themes of SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions), JoM emphasizes the holistic domain of women's health, spanning from youth to menopause. Furthermore, our collaboration ethos, which resonates with SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), is materialized through our synergies with academic and professional bodies, all dedicated to a shared vision of betterment and progress.
