Editorial Note

Pediatric Research is an independent journal published by Springer Nature. All contributions and general correspondence regarding editorial matters should be addressed to the Editors in Chief and sent to the Editorial Office. Authors will be notified of a decision by email within approximately 30 days of submission. When a manuscript is returned to the corresponding author for revision, it should be returned to the editor within two months for first revisions or four weeks for all subsequent revisions or it may be withdrawn. Page charges (if applicable) are applied after online publication (See Costs). Every issue will highlight an Early Career Investigator meeting the following criteria: No more than 7 years on faculty, nominee did the majority of the work in the article, and the nominee is the first or senior author of the article. Please note that Pediatric Research does not accept case reports, regional studies, or papers related to dentistry, orthopedics, and urology.

We now welcome articles on Trials Methodology and Core Outcomes. We do not have a dedicated section for trial protocols but consider protocol papers on a case by case basis. Please contact the Editorial Office to inquire about suitability. Please also contact the Editorial Office when submitting a CROWN paper for guidelines.

Authors wishing to submit manuscripts to Pediatric Research should do so via the online manuscript submission system in ScholarOne. Manuscripts must be written in English and must adhere to the standard layout and length guidelines described in these Instructions to Authors.
