Feature Papers in Future

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the Special Issue entitled “Feature Papers in Future”, which is designed to celebrate the founding of the open-access journal Future (ISSN 2813-2882, https://www.mdpi.com/journal/future). The recent consensus regarding child and adolescent health and development is that focus should not only be devoted to what sounds serious now but that our perspective should extend to considering the roots, where a healthy childhood and adolescence is essential to achieving full potential as an adult—i.e., the past mirrors the future. Future is an international peer-reviewed journal published online with a particular focus on the research areas of growth and development and school health, and the disciplines covered include, but are not limited to, maternal care, sexual and reproductive medicine, child and adolescent health, and mental health. Future is dedicated to enhancing the value of research and helping researchers, health providers, families, and policymakers through improved understanding of the health and development of children and adolescents in the future.

Our Future team and the distinguished Editorial and Review Board warmly invite you to publish your high-quality research work with us. Let us work together to promote lifecycle health and ensure a better future for children and adolescents!
