The European Academy of Paediatrics (EAP) has announced that specialist international title
Archives of Disease in Childhood (ADC) has been named its official journal. This is the second time the title has acquired this status - it is already the official journal of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, which co-owns ADC with the BMJ Group.
The latest move will mean that EAP members will automatically receive a copy of the journal and its sister titles, Fetal and Neonatal Edition and Education in Practice, as part of their subscription. EAP will also be able to appoint a deputy editor from one of its EU member countries and additional associate editors to sit on the journal's editorial board.
The journal, which was launched in 1926, has an Impact Factor of 2.786. It is edited by Howard Bauchner, Professor of Paediatrics and Public Health, Boston University School of Medicine in
Massachusetts.
EAP, formerly known as the Confederation of European Specialists in Paediatrics, is the paediatric section of the European Union of Medical Specialists. Its remit is to promote the health of children and young people and improve professional standards of training and practices.
