About the Journal of Pediatric Health and Nutrition
Advancing population-level evidence in infant and child nutrition through rigorous epidemiological research, surveillance systems, and health policy analysis.
JPHN prioritizes manuscripts that advance understanding of pediatric nutrition at the population level. We seek studies employing robust epidemiological methods to examine nutritional status, feeding practices, growth patterns, and health outcomes across diverse populations.
Population monitoring of infant feeding practices, micronutrient deficiencies, growth trajectories, and malnutrition burden across demographic strata.
Population-level patterns of breastfeeding initiation, exclusivity, duration, and determinants; maternal and societal factors influencing practices.
Epidemiological assessment of complementary food introduction timing, dietary diversity, food safety practices, and cultural variations.
Statistical modeling of risk factors for stunting, wasting, micronutrient deficiencies, and nutrition-related disease burden in pediatric populations.
Assessment of nutrition intervention effectiveness, feeding program outcomes, policy implementation, and health systems capacity.
Population studies examining poverty, food insecurity, maternal education, urbanization, and environmental factors affecting child nutrition.
Temporal trends in nutrition-related morbidity, mortality patterns, disease incidence, and public health implications.
Innovations in nutritional assessment tools, survey methodologies, statistical modeling approaches, and data quality frameworks.
JPHN maintains rigorous editorial standards to ensure methodological quality and reproducibility of epidemiological research. Our peer review process emphasizes statistical validity, population representativeness, and public health relevance.
Population Health Focus
Dedicated platform for epidemiological research addressing pediatric nutrition challenges at scale, informing policy and program design.
Open Access Dissemination
Unrestricted access ensures findings reach public health professionals, policymakers, and researchers in resource-limited settings.
Expert Epidemiological Review
Peer reviewers with specialized expertise in nutritional epidemiology, biostatistics, and population health methods.
Rapid Publication Timeline
Streamlined editorial process balances methodological rigor with timely dissemination of policy-relevant findings.
Global Indexing
Enhanced discoverability through indexing in major academic databases, increasing citation potential and policy impact.
Policy Engagement
Research positioned to inform WHO guidelines, national nutrition strategies, and evidence-based public health interventions.
JPHN's editorial board comprises distinguished epidemiologists, biostatisticians, public health nutritionists, and policy researchers with expertise in pediatric population health. Board members guide strategic direction, ensure methodological rigor, and facilitate knowledge translation to practice and policy audiences.
To sustain high editorial standards while maintaining open access, JPHN implements an Article Processing Charge (APC). This fee supports peer review infrastructure, editorial services, indexing, and technical hosting. Waivers and discounts are available for authors from low-income countries and unfunded research.
