 DOAJ is the most important community-driven, open access service in the world and has a reputation for advocating best practices and standards in open access. DOAJ indexing has brought recognition of a correct and well-structured work
 On this special occasion the editorial office would like to extend their greatest appreciation to all editors, and reviewers who have been supportive, and devoted much of their time and effort in nurturing APN. The journal, in particular, would like to thank the authors for submitting their papers to APN.
 We organized two editions in 2022 focusing on craniofacial and arachnoid cysts.
 Based on data from Google Analytics, APN is gaining momentum and attracting interest from readers. The number of accesses to abstracts has been increasing progressively since 2019 (Figure 1).
 The editorial board thanks you and the work continues so that we can reach new indexing bases and consolidate as a reference in pediatric neurosurgery. Recently, the Brazilian Neurosurgery Society recognized the importance of APN by supporting the project.
 Happy Birthday Archives of Pediatric Neurosurgery! A long life for everyone!
