Acta Paediatrica is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal covering paediatrics. It is published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the Foundation Acta Paediatrica, based at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden.

History

[edit]

The journal was established in 1921 and renamed Acta Paediatrica Scandinavica in 1964, returning to its original title in 1992. The journal was conceived as a general pediatrics journal and its original aim was to "give studies from the Nordic countries a worldwide audience."[1] Thus the journal was originally trilingual, publishing papers in English, German, and French, at a time when most medical journals were still published in national languages; the journal later became an English-only journal. Since Rolf Zetterström became editor in the 1960s, the journal increasingly also published studies from outside the Nordic countries.[1] At the end of Zetterström's tenure as editor in the early 2000s, nearly two thirds of papers were authored by non-Nordic researchers.[2]

The journal is owned by the non-profit Foundation Acta Paediatrica, which is hosted by the Karolinska Institute, where all the editors-in-chief have been professors and the editorial office has always been based. The journal was published on behalf of the foundation by the Swedish publisher Almqvist & Wiksell from 1921 to 1992, by the Norwegian publisher Universitetsforlaget from 1992 to 2000, by Taylor & Francis from 2000 to 2007, and by Blackwell Publishing (later Wiley-Blackwell) from 2007.[2][1][3]

In addition to its ordinary issues the journal has published nearly 500 supplements, primarily doctoral dissertations authored by paediatricians from the Nordic countries in the early to mid 20th century.[1]
