In particular, the journal welcomes submissions which support and advance the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably SDG 3: ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.

Manuscripts that focus on adult medicine, public health, or non-pediatric surgical procedures are not suitable for publication in this journal. Studies that do not directly relate to the health and well-being of children and adolescents, including those focusing on parental education or socio-economic factors without a fundamental basis in pediatric health outcomes, will not be considered.
