Abstract

The inaugural issue of Pediatrics was published in 1948. Although the journal has remained steadfast in its mission of helping pediatricians and other child health care clinicians improve outcomes for children and families, the approach it uses to achieve its mission continues to evolve. This special article provides a broad historical overview of changes to the journal, focusing on the last 25 years, including the move to online publication and use of social media, the adoption of new article types, the commitment to transparency, the expansion of the editorial board, and the commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice. These changes ensure that Pediatrics remains timely and relevant for everyone invested in improving child health outcomes.
