Abstract

This article aimed to provide a special perspective on role of pediatric journals in evidence-based pediatrics and child health through a preliminary search of PubMed for articles that analyzed pediatric journals. There were studies on analyses of pediatric subspecialty-specific journals such as orthopedics, surgery, dentistry, dermatology, and nursing. The various pediatric journals analyzed for their contribution to evidence-based pediatrics and child health were Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics-A (JPO-A), Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics-B (JPO-B) and Journal of Children’s Orthopaedics (JCO); Journal of Pediatric Surgery, Pediatric Surgery International and European Journal of Pediatric Surgery; six pediatric dentistry journals; four pediatric nursing journals; Journal of Pediatric Psychology, Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, and Child development. The topics researched in analyses of pediatric journals were levels of evidence, citation analysis, traumatic dental injuries, instructions to authors and editorial policies, referencing accuracy, and reporting rates of demographic, methodological and ethical information, and methodological standards
