Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will include papers about oral clefts to expand the evaluation and management of experimental and theoretical results about aspects related to quality of life, growth and development, speech disorders, epidemiological, genetics and environmental factors linked to oral clefts, as well as to increase understanding of fundamental principles and biological questions related to oral clefts.
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 children. 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 a broad audience as quickly as possible. This Special Issue will focus on childhood oral clefts in developed and developing countries.
Moreover, the primary goals of the Special Issue are to highlight knowledge about all aspects of children with an oral cleft, such as epidemiological and clinical challenges, etiology, speech disorders, quality of life, growth and development, and related anomalies, to help patients better participate in society. In addition to original research, the Special Issue will publish expert editorials and commentaries, clinical case reports, and insightful communications reflecting the latest developments in children with oral clefs.
