Healthcare knowledge provider BMJ has added a new title to its expanding portfolio of more than 60 specialist journals, with the launch of BMJ Paediatrics Open.
BMJ Paediatrics Open is a fully open access, international multidisciplinary journal, dedicated to publishing original research, clinical reviews, and protocols that deal with every aspect of child health, including surgery, public health, healthcare provision and qualitative research. It particularly welcomes research in the neglected diseases that disproportionately affect children in low and middle income countries.
BMJ Paediatrics Open adds to BMJ's other paediatric titles—Archives of Disease in Childhood (ADC), ADC Fetal & Neonatal, and Education & Practice—and like them, is co-owned with the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.
In common with all BMJ's other open access titles, BMJ Paediatrics Open will maintain a rigorous and transparent peer review process and adhere to the highest ethical standards for research conduct. It will operate a fast submission and review process with continuous publication online, to ensure that timely, up-to-date research is available worldwide.
The journal's editor in chief is Imti Choonara, Emeritus Professor in Child Health, Academic Division of Child Health, University of Nottingham, The Medical School, Derbyshire Children's Hospital.
Professor Choonara is one of the world's leading paediatric clinical pharmacologists and has had a key role in ensuring that paediatric clinical pharmacology is an accredited subspecialty of paediatrics in the UK.
