Aims and Scope

The Journal of Pediatrics in Resource-Limited Settings is an international, online-only, open access journal that publishes continuously in one annual volume. It publishes rigorous work in clinical pediatrics, child health, and pediatric medical education and training, particularly where these relate to resource-limited, underserved, or inequity-affected contexts. The journal thus aims at advancing context-relevant evidence for clinical care, service delivery, workforce development, and child health policy. The journal particularly welcomes submissions from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It also welcomes relevant work from high-income countries when the research addresses contexts in which children face limited access to quality care, essential resources, or adequate system capacity, or when it offers insights or solutions applicable to such contexts. The journal also welcomes pediatric surgery articles when their main focus is relevant to general pediatrics or child health and does not center on surgical techniques or operative procedures. The journal serves clinicians, researchers, educators, trainees, and others working to improve child health in these settings.
