Scope

• The stated aim of the archive is to promote research in all aspects of dentistry for children, a remit that names interceptive orthodontics and studies on children and young adults with special needs.该刊宗旨为推动儿童牙科各方面的研究，其范围明确列入阻断性正畸，以及儿童与青少年特殊需求者的研究。

• Clinical and basic science research bearing on childhood is accepted on the strength of critical evaluation, and the editors state that work is judged by how far its methods support its conclusions.与儿童相关的临床与基础科学研究均以严格评估为录用依据，编辑部声明审稿看重研究方法与结论之间的支撑程度。

• Prevention and management of dental caries in young patients hold a central place, and a standing call for papers on the management of deep carious lesions in primary teeth shows how actively that theme is pursued.年幼患者龋病的预防与控制居于核心位置，该刊就乳牙深龋处理设有持续开放征稿的合集，可见这一主题被积极推进。

• Pulp and periapical care of primary and immature permanent teeth forms a second main line, covering pulpotomy, root canal medication and the decision to extract a molar in a child.乳牙与未成熟恒牙的牙髓与根尖治疗是另一主线，涉及牙髓切断术、根管用药，以及儿童磨牙的拔牙决策。

• Restorative materials and bonding in the mixed dentition also belong to the remit, with studies of sealants, composites and bioactive cements placed in young teeth.混合牙列的修复材料与黏接处理亦在范围内，相关研究以封闭剂、复合材料与生物活性水门汀在年轻牙体上的表现为对象。

• Dental trauma keeps a fixed place in the scope, and one section editor carries endodontics and trauma together, a pairing that covers avulsion, luxation and the follow-up of injured permanent incisors.牙外伤在范围内占有固定位置，有一位栏目编辑同时负责牙髓与外伤方向，这一分工覆盖撕脱、脱位与外伤恒切牙的随访。

• Behaviour guidance and anxiety control are in scope, with behaviour management named as a section editor specialism beside dental radiology.行为引导与焦虑控制也在收录之列，行为管理与牙科放射学同为栏目编辑列名的专长。

• Developmental disturbances of the dentition receive sustained attention, and molar incisor hypomineralisation is the subject of a collection that asks for updates in scientific knowledge.牙列发育异常受到持续关注，磨牙切牙矿化不全已设有专门合集，邀请该领域提交最新认识。

• Hereditary enamel and dentine defects are published as well, recent issues carrying work on dental anomalies in people with amelogenesis imperfecta and on environmental chemical exposure and hypomineralisation.遗传性釉质与牙本质缺陷同样收录，近期各期既有成釉不全患者的牙异常研究，也有环境化学物暴露与矿化不全关系的分析。

• Imaging and diagnosis have their own corner, from radiographic caries detection to dental age estimation built on the first permanent molar.影像与诊断自成一角，范围包括放射影像的龋坏检出，以及依据第一恒磨牙推算牙龄的方法。

• Oral medicine in childhood sits inside the scope, with mucosal disease, painful oral conditions and the dental care of medically complex children handled by an editor trained in that discipline.儿童口腔医学问题亦在范围内，黏膜疾病、口腔疼痛性疾病与疾患复杂儿童的牙科处理，由具有该学科背景的编辑负责。

• Children with additional or specialised needs are treated as a field of their own, a brief named in the specialisms of three section editors.有附加或特殊需求的儿童被当作独立领域对待，三位栏目编辑的专长列名均涉及这一方向。

• Epidemiology, public health and the economics of child oral health are covered, and policy guidance drawn up by the academy has appeared in these pages, among it a best-practice document on the dental care of childhood cancer survivors.流行病学、公共卫生与儿童口腔健康的经济学均在范围内，学会制定的指导文件亦刊于该刊，其中包括儿童癌症幸存者口腔保健的最佳实践文件。

History

• The European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry held its first congress on 7 March 1992 at Noordwijkerhout in the Netherlands, and meetings of the academy have followed on a two-year cycle since.欧洲儿童牙科学会的首届大会于 1992 年 3 月 7 日在荷兰的 Noordwijkerhout 举行，此后学会大会以两年为周期延续。

• Before the archive existed, the academy wrote to its members through a bulletin called European Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, whose volume count opened in 2000 and which the National Library of Medicine still links to this title through the ISSN 1591-996X.在该刊创刊之前，学会已有一份简讯《European Journal of Paediatric Dentistry》，其卷号自 2000 年起算，美国国家医学图书馆至今仍以 1591-996X 这一 ISSN 把它与本刊著录相连。

• The archive itself opened in March 2006 as volume 7, issue 1, so it inherited the academy's running count instead of starting a new one, and it took the role of official journal of the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry.该刊于 2006 年 3 月以第 7 卷第 1 期问世，沿用学会既有的连续卷号而非另起新序，并成为欧洲儿童牙科学会的官方期刊。

• Its first years were issued by the academy itself in Leeds, England, and the series carried the print number 1818-6300 beside the electronic number 1996-9805.创刊后的头几年由学会在英格兰利兹自行出版，印刷版使用 1818-6300，电子版使用 1996-9805。

• Springer then took the imprint on, and the library record shows a London Springer imprint running from 2013 onwards.其后 Springer 接手出版，图书馆著录显示 2013 年起的出版地为伦敦，出版方为 Springer。

• Four issues a year appeared at the start, and the series had grown to six issues a year by 2012, a bimonthly pace it still keeps.创刊之初每年出 4 期，至 2012 年已增至每年 6 期，这一双月节奏沿用至今。

• Volume and year keep step, so a series that began at volume 7 in 2006 reaches volume 27 in 2026, where issue 5 appeared in October.卷号与年份始终同步，自 2006 年第 7 卷起步的序列在 2026 年走到第 27 卷，该卷第 5 期于 10 月出版。

• MEDLINE and PubMed have carried the journal from that first March 2006 issue, and the present index list also names Scopus, EBSCO, ProQuest, Ovid, CNKI, Wanfang and the Japanese Science and Technology Agency.MEDLINE 与 PubMed 自 2006 年 3 月那一期起即收录该刊，现下的收录名单还列有 Scopus 与 EBSCO，另有 ProQuest、Ovid 以及 CNKI，万方与日本科学技术振兴机构也在其内。

• Citation measures softened across three years, the journal impact factor reading 2.3 in 2023, 2.0 in 2024 and 1.9 in 2025, when the five-year figure stood at 2.8.引文指标近三年回落，期刊影响因子 2023 年为 2.3，2024 年为 2.0，2025 年为 1.9，同年 5 年影响因子为 2.8。

• In the 2025 edition the archive sits in DENTISTRY, ORAL SURGERY & MEDICINE at rank 86 among 165 titles of the Emerging Sources Citation Index, on a percentile of 48.2, with 2648 citations, 110 citable items and a cited half-life of 5.8 years.2025 年版中，该刊在新兴来源引文索引（ESCI）的牙科与口腔外科类目排第 86 位，同类共 165 种刊，百分位为 48.2，总被引 2648 次，可引用条目 110 项，被引半衰期 5.8 年。

• Open access reached the journal as an option rather than a switch, since its publisher lists it as a hybrid title, with 270 open access articles on the platform and a 2025 gold share of cited items at 30.55 per cent.开放获取在该刊以选项而非整体的方式出现，出版方将其标为混合模式期刊，平台上现有 270 篇开放获取论文，2025 年被引条目的金色开放获取（Gold OA）比例为 30.55%。

• The editorial chair changed hands three times, since Martin Curzon of the University of Leeds held it until 2010, Jack Toumba, also of Leeds, until 2019, and Nick A. Lygidakis of Athens until 2025, each now listed among the editors emeriti.主编之位已三次易手，利兹大学的 Martin Curzon 任职至 2010 年，同样出自利兹的 Jack Toumba 任职至 2019 年，雅典的 Nick A. Lygidakis 任职至 2025 年，三人今列于荣誉主编名册。

• Congress life and the archive stay linked, as the journal pages host the abstract book of the 17th meeting of the academy, held in 2024, for open download.学会会议与该刊保持联动，其网页提供 2024 年学会第 17 届大会摘要集供公开下载。
