Research Journal of Congenital Diseases is an open access, peer reviewed, scholarly journal that focusses on the dissemination of contemporary research developments pertaining to the detection, prevention and treatment of congenital diseases. The journal is aimed towards exchange of information between physicians and scientists working on various aspects of health service research and Paediatric medicine.
The journal publishes recent clinical research findings in the field of: Congenital diseases, Abnormal physiological development, Birth defects, Pregnancy, Epidemiology, Adolescent medicine, Critical care medicine, Developmental and Behavioural medicine, Endocrinology, Neonatal-perinatal medicine, Emergency medicine and other paediatric subspecialties.
The Research Journal of Congenital Diseases welcomes manuscripts that elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanism involved in the progression of congenital health anomalies. Articles highlighting various aspects of teratology and etiology of congenital diseases, abnormal physiological development, birth defects, pregnancy, epidemiology, pathology and anatomy are solicited. The journal provides an open platform for the exchange of viewpoints, hypotheses, clinical experiences of practicing physicians, genetic and ethical issues prevalent in the treatment of congenital diseases.
The journal encourages worldwide research and publication of novel ideas which may help in unravelling the unsolved mysteries related to the occurrence and treatment of congenital diseases.
Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process):
Research Journal of Congenital Diseases is participating in the Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process) with an additional prepayment of $99 apart from the regular article processing fee. Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process is a special service for the article that enables it to get a faster response in the pre-review stage from the handling editor as well as a review from the reviewer. An author can get a faster response of pre-review maximum in 3 days since submission, and a review process by the reviewer maximum in 5 days, followed by revision/publication in 2 days. If the article gets notified for revision by the handling editor, then it will take another 5 days for external review by the previous reviewer or alternative reviewer.
Acceptance of manuscripts is driven entirely by handling editorial team considerations and independent peer-review, ensuring the highest standards are maintained no matter the route to regular peer-reviewed publication or a fast editorial review process. The handling editor and the article contributor are responsible for adhering to scientific standards. The article FEE-Review process of $99 will not be refunded even if the article is rejected or withdrawn for publication.
The corresponding author or institution/organization is responsible for making the manuscript FEE-Review Process payment. The additional FEE-Review Process payment covers the fast review processing and quick editorial decisions, and regular article publication covers the preparation in various formats for online publication, securing full-text inclusion in a number of permanent archives like HTML, XML, and PDF, and feeding to different indexing agencies.
Anencephaly is the absence of a major portion of the brain, skull, and scalp that occurs during embryonic development. It is a cephalic disorder that results from a neural tube defect that occurs when the rostral (head) end of the neural tube fails to close, usually between the 23rd and 26th day following conception.

Anopthalmia is a term used for the disorder in which one or both the eyes are absent, while in Microphthalmia one or both the eyes are abnormally small. Anophthalmia and Microphthalmia are the birth defects which causes the limitation of vision.

Cleft lip and Cleft palate are the incomplete formation of lip or mouth during very early in the pregnancy stage. Cleft lip contains the formation of lip that may extend into the nose, while cleft palate includes the direct connection of the mouth to inside of the nose by a hole in the oral cavity.

Congenital heart defect or congenital heart disease is a general medical term that is used for the range of birth defects that includes the deformation of heart structure during birth. It effects the flow of blood through the heart. It may include the number of defects including simple defects with less symptoms or no symptoms to the complex defects with hazardous symptoms.

Atrial Septal Defect is a kind of Congenital Heart Defects (CHD) in which a hole is present in the wall (septa) that separates the two upper chambers of the heart (atria). It causes the leakage of oxygen rich blood directly from the left side chamber to the oxygen poor blood in the right side chamber.

Atrioventricular Septal Defect is one of the commonly recognised congenital cardiac anomalies, that affects the valves of the heart and causes the large defect in the centre of the heart. It is also known as endocardial cushion or atrioventricular canal defect that contains the improperly formed valves which controls the flow of blood, or the holes are present in the septa of the chambers either from the left side or the left side.

Coarctation of the Aorta means the narrowing of the aorta or the abnormality in the structure of aorta. It usually occurs in the region of ductus arteriosus (responsible for blood flow), typically present in the left side of the heart, that causes the work of left ventricle harder.

Transposition of the arteries involving a group of congenital anomalies that includes the reverse arrangement of the two great/main arteries of the heart. These two great arteries refer to the aorta and the pulmonary artery. The transposition of these great arteries disrupts the pathway of the blood.

Tricupsid Atresia is an absence of tricuspid valve that defects the right artrioventricular connection that causes the absence of right ventricle. It occurs during the embryonic development leads to the abnormal flow of oxygenated blood in the body.

Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome is the defect of the left side of the heart in which the valves are either too closed or are too small that affects the flow of blood through them. It is a rare heart defect in which the left side of the heart is critically underdeveloped.

Pulmonary Atresia is a cardiac birth defect that occurs when pulmonary valves are not formed properly that controls the flow of blood from the heart to the lungs.

Tetralogy of Fallot is a heart defect present at birth, showing the symptoms of bluish colour to the skin when the babies cry or during feeding, with having the difficulty in breathing. They may also be having loss of consciousness. In most of the cases the infants are smaller than expected for age.

Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return is a cyanotic cardiac birth defect in which the veins that receives the blood from the lungs and takes to the heart are not properly connected to the heart. It includes the abnormal drainage anatomy of the whole pulmonary venous connection.

Truncus Arteriosus is a rare congenital heart disorder in which only one vein truncus arteriosus comes out of the heart, instead of two veins pulmonary trunk and aorta, i.e., the failure of the complete separation of truncus arteriosus during development.
