Academic publisher SAGE Publishing has announced the launch of the open access journal Childhood Obesity and Nutrition (OBN), replacing ICAN: Infant, Child & Adolescent Nutrition. Broadening the scope of ICAN, OBN will reflect the changing field of pediatric obesity and nutrition as well as new knowledge from cross-disciplinary research.
OBN will publish practical strategies for obesity and nutrition counselling and related care, psychological and social causes, and educational curricula for stakeholders. The journal will accept original research, commentaries, reviews, and articles on nutrition and obesity education programs for students, health care professionals, and others.
OBN is also interested in descriptions of new public policies designed to improve nutrition and weight status among children.
