Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Children is celebrating its 10th anniversary. During this time, Children has made significant process. Over these years, the number of published papers, the number of full-text downloads, the number of citations, the Impact Factor, and the submission-to-publication time have consistently and steadily improved. The scope of the journal is comprehensive, and includes almost every aspect of childhood health and disease. The Editorial Board is composed of a relatively small but great mix of highly accomplished and well-established academics and practitioners, representing many countries. I hope that the members of our Editorial Board will contribute to the “10th Anniversary” Special Issue by writing papers in their respective areas of expertise reflecting the scope of the journal, covering historical trends, current challenges, the state-of-the-art, creative and innovative solutions, and future developments in clinical, epidemiological and translational science relevant to children’s health and disease.
Prof. Dr. Paul R. Carney
Guest Editor
