To further clarify the scope of the Children, under the guidance of our Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Dr. Paul R. Carney, the journal has updated its aims and scope. All new updates can be seen below:
Aims
Children (ISSN 2227-9067) is an international, open access journal dedicated to a streamlined, yet scientifically rigorous, dissemination of peer-reviewed science related to childhood health and disease in developed and developing countries.
The publication focuses on sharing clinical, epidemiological, and translational science relevant to children’s health. We strive to publish high-quality original articles and reviews that are applicable to the practice of Pediatrics in all its subspecialties. Moreover, the primary goals of the publication are to highlight under‑represented pediatric disciplines, to emphasize interdisciplinary research and to disseminate advances in knowledge in global child health. In addition to original research, the journal publishes expert editorials and commentaries, clinical case reports, and insightful communications reflecting the latest developments in pediatric medicine. Submissions from related fields such as sports science, education and sociology will be considered; however, all submissions to Children should highlight the pediatric health implications of the results presented. By publishing meritorious articles as soon as the editorial review process is completed, rather than at predefined intervals, Children also permits rapid open access sharing of new information, allowing us to reach the broadest audience in the most expedient fashion. Ultimately, we seek to improve the quality of care and the health of infants, children, and adolescents, by contributing to increasing knowledge and helping to advance scientific discovery in the field of pediatrics.
