Children (ISSN: 2227-9067) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal of pediatrics, focusing on the dissemination of clinical, epidemiological, and translational science relevant to children’s health, published monthly online by MDPI.

The publication focuses on sharing clinical, epidemiological, and translational science relevant to children’s health. Moreover, the primary goals of the publication are to highlight under‑represented pediatric disciplines, to emphasize interdisciplinary research, and to disseminate advances in knowledge in global child health. In addition to original research, the journal publishes expert editorials and commentaries, clinical case reports, and insightful communications reflecting the latest developments in pediatric medicine. By publishing meritorious articles as soon as the editorial review process is completed, rather than at predefined intervals, Children also permits rapid open access sharing of new information, allowing us to reach the broadest audience in the most expedient fashion.
