After 1 June 2006, Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics will only accept online submissions. The new Editorial Manager System is fast, efficient and provides step-by-step instructions on how to submit your paper. The online submission and editorial manager system provides the following notable benefits:

It saves you money
No need for expensive priority mail charges. The submission system is instantaneous, with the Coordi-nating Editor receiving your submission as soon as you upload and verify the submission.
