Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal

The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal is a specialist medical periodical devoted to research and clinical knowledge concerning infectious diseases in children. It serves pediatricians, pediatric infectious-disease specialists, epidemiologists, microbiologists, public-health researchers, and other clinicians whose work involves the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance of childhood infections. The publication began in 1982 under the title Pediatric Infectious Disease. At launch it appeared as a bimonthly journal. In 1987, it adopted the title The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, the name associated with the publication today, and subsequently operated as a monthly journal. The title change reflects its development from a narrowly named specialty publication into an established journal serving the broader pediatric infectious-disease research community. Its subject area encompasses infectious diseases in children, including research and clinical material relevant to pediatric infection practice. The journal's role is that of a scholarly communication platform rather than a consumer-facing product: its principal offering is the publication and dissemination of peer-reviewed medical research. It is published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, a major medical and scientific publishing imprint. The journal is also represented in major bibliographic and citation services, including BIOSIS, MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Science Citation Index Expanded, and Current Contents/Clinical Medicine. Inclusion in these services supports discoverability for researchers and clinicians and places the journal within the established infrastructure of biomedical literature. The publication has been associated with pediatric infectious-disease scholarship through its editorial leadership and specialist readership. The reference material identifies John D. Nelson and George H. McCracken Jr. of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center as editors-in-chief. The journal's publication model, indexing coverage, and focused subject scope position it as a professional research resource for the international medical community. No reliable information in the supplied materials establishes a separate corporate headquarters, ownership structure beyond its publisher relationship, circulation figures, current financial performance, or a distinct consumer brand architecture.

The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal originated in 1982 as Pediatric Infectious Disease, a bimonthly scholarly publication dedicated to infectious diseases in children. Its creation reflected the emergence of pediatric infectious disease as a distinct clinical and research specialty requiring a dedicated forum for communicating findings to pediatric clinicians and investigators. In 1987, the publication changed its title to The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal. The revised name more explicitly identified the title as a formal medical journal and broadened its presentation beyond the shorter original title. Over time, it became a monthly peer-reviewed publication. Its editorial purpose has remained centered on research and professional information relating to infections in pediatric populations. The journal is published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. It is abstracted and indexed by BIOSIS, MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Science Citation Index Expanded, and Current Contents/Clinical Medicine. This coverage connects the publication to the principal discovery and citation systems used by biomedical researchers and health professionals. The journal's indexing profile is significant because it enables its articles to be located across clinical, bibliographic, and multidisciplinary research workflows. The publication's subject scope is pediatric infectious disease. Within that broad specialty, its content supports the exchange of evidence and professional knowledge about childhood infections. The supplied reference identifies John D. Nelson and George H. McCracken Jr. of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center as editors-in-chief. Beyond these documented details, the available material does not provide a complete account of successive editors, ownership changes, editorial policies, subscription models, publication metrics, or organizational offices. The journal remains an active specialist title under the Lippincott Williams & Wilkins publishing operation.
