Journal Watch Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine Turns 10

Journal Watch Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine Turns 10

Our mission remains unchanged: to provide clinicians with a timely clinically useful survey of the pediatric medical literature.

Dear Readers:

It hardly seems possible that Journal Watch Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine is entering adolescence as we celebrate its 10th birthday this month. We started as a 10-issue print-only publication and have grown to a 12-issue publication with a strong online presence. We are privileged to have outstanding, thoughtful editors who care deeply about accurately summarizing and commenting on the most relevant evidence-based research. Although our mission remains unchanged — to provide clinicians with a timely clinically useful survey of the pediatric medical literature — the means by which Journal Watch is delivered are evolving constantly. We are proud of our accomplishments, and we're happy to say that — thanks to you, our readers — we're still going strong.

Since our first issue, we have added special features on vaccines, guidelines, drugs, resident perspectives, and summaries of relevant information from the lay literature. Our Web site (http://pediatrics.jwatch.org) continues to evolve and currently provides new content each business day from all 13 Journal Watch titles as well as audio interviews, blogs, polls, and access to specialty e-mail alerts and our archives.

We look forward to experiencing our adolescence and continued growth. We are proud of our relationship with the New England Journal of Medicine, our on-line products, our global reach, and most of all, our relationship with you, our readers and colleagues, who provide outstanding clinical care for children. We continue to seek your advice on how to provide you with the best educational service and again thank you for your support.
