JMIR Pediatrics and Parenting covers digital health as it touches children, adolescents and the people raising them. The registry narrows the remit to four keywords, parenting, adolescents, paediatrics and medical technology, and those four are the actual editorial boundary.《JMIR Pediatrics and Parenting》管的是数字健康与儿童、青少年及其养育者相交的那一块。登记把范围收成四个关键词，养育、青少年、儿科与医疗技术，这四个词就是实际的编辑边界。
The journal is one of a family. Its parent site lists roughly forty sister titles, from the flagship Journal of Medical Internet Research to journals on nursing, aging, cancer and mental health, each with its own theme.这是一本家族刊。母站列出约四十种姊妹刊，从旗舰《Journal of Medical Internet Research》到护理、老龄、肿瘤与精神健康各刊，每本各管一个题目。
That family structure is visible to readers. A paper that does not fit here can be moved to a better-placed title in the same house, and the site runs a manuscript exchange hub for exactly that.这个家族结构读者看得见。放不进来的稿子可以转到同一屋檐下更合适的刊，站点上就设了一个稿件交换中心办这件事。
There are no issue numbers to speak of. Volume 1 came out in two issues in 2018 and every volume since has been continuous, with articles numbered and posted as they are accepted.这里基本没有期号。2018 年第 1 卷分两期出，此后每卷都是连续出版，文章编号，录用一篇挂一篇。
The old address structure survives the change. Article links still read year, then issue number, then the e-number, so a 2019 paper is still found under a two-digit issue that no longer exists as a publishing unit.旧地址结构没随改版消失。文章链接仍是年份、期号、电子编号三段，2019 年的文章至今挂在两位数的期号下，而那个期号早就不再是一个出版单元。
Output is modest by medical standards and rising. Crossref holds 651 records, with 31 in 2019, 86 in 2022, 123 in 2025 and 105 in 2026 so far.以医学刊的标准看，产量不大，但在涨。Crossref 存着 651 条记录，2019 年 31 条，2022 年 86 条，2025 年 123 条，2026 年至今 105 条。
The subject matter is broad within one idea. A recent issue carries parental smartphone use and child emotional wellbeing, an app-based cranial shape assessment compared against calipers, and breastfeeding initiation across twenty Sub-Saharan countries.题目看着散，都在一个念头上。近期一期里有父母手机使用与儿童情绪健康，有手机拍照量头型与卡尺的对照，还有撒哈拉以南二十国的母乳喂养启动时间。
Interventions outnumber epidemiology. Parenting programmes delivered through ecological momentary assessment, a chatbot for postpartum mood, a virtual reality injury-prevention proof of concept, a social robot on a pediatric ward. The journal wants the trial, not only the survey.干预研究多于流行病学。用生态瞬时评估推送的育儿课程、针对产后情绪的聊天机器人、预防家庭伤害的虚拟现实概念验证、病房里的社交机器人。刊物要的是试验，不只是问卷。
Reviews are about a tenth of output. There were 9 in 2025 and 12 in 2026, mostly scoping reviews of app categories rather than meta-analyses of effect sizes.综述约占十分之一。2025 年 9 篇，2026 年 12 篇，多半是给某类应用画地图的范围综述，不是算效应量的荟萃分析。
Corrections are rare here. Two appeared in 2025 and none in 2026, which is a low rate for a journal whose subject matter changes version numbers every few months.更正很少。2025 年两条，2026 年没有，对一本研究对象每隔几个月就换版本号的刊物来说，这个比例偏低。
There is an article processing charge of 1,985 dollars, and a waiver route exists for authors who cannot pay. The registry records both facts in one entry.版面费 1,985 美元，付不起的作者有豁免通道。两条写在登记的同一处。
Every article is CC BY. There is no non-commercial option and no embargo, and the author keeps copyright rather than assigning it, which is a licence to publish rather than a transfer.所有文章都是 CC BY。没有非商业选项，也没有禁发期，版权留在作者手里不去转让，签的是出版许可，不是权利让渡。
Review is single anonymous. The reviewer sees the authors and their institutions, the authors do not see the reviewer, and the registry names the process plainly.评审是单向匿名。审稿人看得到作者与单位，作者看不到审稿人，登记里把这个流程直接写了出来。
The registry puts the path from submission to publication at 23 weeks. For a journal with no issue schedule, that number is the real publication lag rather than a queue position.登记里的发表周期是 23 周。对一本不排期的刊物来说，这个数是真实的滞后，不是某个队列里的排队位次。
Preservation is thin. PubMed Central is the only archive the registry lists, with no CLOCKSS and no Portico, and the open access start is dated to 2018.存档这一项偏薄。登记只列了 PubMed Central，没有 CLOCKSS，也没有 Portico，开放获取起点记在 2018 年。
PubMed and PubMed Central carry the journal from volume 1, issue 1 of 2018. MEDLINE does not, and the citation index it sits in is the emerging sources edition rather than the expanded one.PubMed 与 PubMed Central 从 2018 年第 1 卷第 1 期起收这本刊。MEDLINE 不收，它所在的引文索引是新兴来源版，不是扩展版。
History
The journal opened in 2018. Volume 1 appeared in two issues, the first with seven items and the second with twenty-two, and that is the entire first year.这本刊 2018 年开张。第 1 卷分两期出，第一期七条，第二期二十二条，头一年就这些。
Two deposits are dated 2017 and carry no volume. They sit ahead of the first issue in the archive, which is what a launch looks like when a manuscript is accepted before the volume is minted.有两条记录标着 2017 年，不带卷号。它们在存档里排在第 1 期之前，创刊时先录稿、后铸卷，留下的就是这种痕迹。
Volume 9 covers 2026, so eight volumes were closed in eight years. One volume a year, no skipped year, no double volume to catch up.第 9 卷覆盖 2026 年，八年出了八卷。一年一卷，没有空缺的年份，也没有为了赶进度补出的合卷。
The journal is electronic only. A single ISSN sits on the record, 2561-6722, and it serves as both print and electronic number by default.这本刊只有电子版。记录上只有一个 ISSN，2561-6722，清单里纸本号与电子号填的是同一个。
The imprint is Toronto. JMIR Publications runs the journal from Ontario and hosts it on its own platform, so there is no third-party publisher between the editors and the page.出版地是多伦多。JMIR Publications 在安大略办这本刊，托管在自己平台上，编辑与页面之间没有第三方出版方。
The family began with a single title. Journal of Medical Internet Research heads the sister list on every page, and the pediatric title is one of the later additions to that house.家族是从一本刊起的。《Journal of Medical Internet Research》在各页的姊妹刊名单里排第一，儿科这本是后来添进这个屋檐的。
PubMed Central took it from the first issue. The registry gives the archive number 3723, which is how the journal's full text stays reachable without a subscription.PubMed Central 从第 1 期就收了。登记给出存档编号 3723，全文因此不靠订阅也能拿到。
The citation index arrived late. The journal file carries three impact factors, 2.1 for 2023, 2.3 for 2024 and 2.3 for 2025, because emerging sources titles only began receiving one in 2023.引文索引来得晚。刊表里只有三个影响因子，2023 年 2.1，2024 年 2.3，2025 年 2.3，因为新兴来源版从 2023 年才给这个数。
Growth has been steady rather than explosive. 31 records in 2019, 69 in 2021, 93 in 2024, 123 in 2025. A digital health journal that does not print has no page ceiling, so the limit is submissions.增长是稳步的，不是爆发式的。2019 年 31 条，2021 年 69 条，2024 年 93 条，2025 年 123 条。不印纸的刊没有页数天花板，上限就是来稿量。
The archive is small enough to read as a whole. 651 records over nine volumes means a specialist can know the journal's output rather than sample it.存档小到可以整体读完。九卷 651 条，专业读者能把这份刊的产出摸清，不必抽样。
Citation behaviour is fast and shallow. 1,157 citations to 105 articles, a cited half-life of 3.5 years, an immediacy index of 0.7. Work here is picked up quickly and dropped quickly.引用行为又快又浅。1,157 次引用对 105 篇文章，被引半衰期 3.5 年，即年指标 0.7。这里的工作被捡起得快，放下得也快。
The five-year impact factor of 2.7 is above the annual 2.3. The archive keeps earning after the news value of an app wears off, which is not obvious for this subject.五年影响因子 2.7，高于年值 2.3。一款应用的新鲜感过去之后，旧文还在挣引用，这在数字健康这个题目上并不显然。
Almost all of it is gold open access. The file records 99.63 percent, which leaves a handful of items outside the gold route and nothing like a subscription business behind them.几乎全是金色开放获取。表里记的是 99.63%，剩下几条不走金色，背后也没有订阅生意撑着。
Editors
The board is published as a page on the journal site. Names are not in the registry entry and the page is script-driven, so the masthead has to be read in a browser rather than fetched.编委会以网页形式挂在刊物站点上。登记里没有姓名，页面靠脚本渲染，名单只能在浏览器里读，抓不下来。
Single anonymous review puts the burden on the reviewer's judgement of provenance. Authors and institutions are visible, so a lab with a record of app trials arrives with its reputation attached.单向匿名把出处的判断压在审稿人身上。作者与单位都摆在明处，做过应用试验的团队一投稿就带着名声进来。
Two kinds of reader have to be satisfied at once. A pediatrician wants the clinical claim checked and a technologist wants the system described well enough to rebuild, and one referee rarely covers both.两种读者得同时满足。儿科医师要核临床主张，技术读者要把系统描述到能重搭的程度，一位审稿人很少两头都管得住。
Themes organise the reading. The site offers browse-by-theme alongside browse-by-year and browse-by-author, so the editors are curating categories as well as accepting papers.主题是组织阅读的骨架。站点除了按年、按作者浏览，还提供按主题浏览，编辑除了收稿，也在维护分类。
The volume is small enough for close reading. A hundred and twenty papers a year means the desk can look at every submission rather than delegate triage.产量小到可以细读。一年一百二十篇，编辑部能逐篇过，不必把筛选整个交出去。
Reviews are commissioned and scoping-shaped. Nine or twelve a year, each mapping a category of tool, and the choice of which category deserves a map is an editorial decision rather than an author's.综述是约的，形状偏范围综述。一年九到十二篇，每篇给一类工具画地图，哪一类值得画，是编辑的决定，不是作者的决定。
A short half-life forces a choice about what to keep. A paper describing an app that no longer exists has little future citation, so the desk leans toward designs and methods that outlive the product.半衰期短，就得选择留什么。描述一款已经下架的应用的论文，未来几乎不会被引，编辑部因此偏向活得比产品久的设计与方法。
Post-publication work is light. Two corrections in a year is not a sign of accuracy so much as a sign that the journal publishes few papers and checks them itself.发表后的活儿不重。一年两条更正，这个数更像发行量小的结果，校得严不严从这儿看不出来。
The registry says there is no automated plagiarism check. That is unusual for a journal of this size and it pushes the whole duplicate-detection load onto reviewers and the desk.登记里写着没有自动查重。这个体量的刊不查重并不常见，重复检测的活儿整个压在审稿人与编辑部身上。
Copyright stays with authors, so the journal holds a licence rather than the work. Permissions requests go back to the author, and the editorial office cannot relicense a figure on its own.版权留给作者，刊物拿到的是许可不是作品。转载申请要回到作者那里，编辑部不能自己给一张图再授权。
The economics rest on the charge rather than on subscriptions. Every accepted paper pays, so the editorial model has to justify each acceptance on quality while the business side counts the volume.经济基础在版面费上，不在订阅上。每篇录用都付费，编辑模型因此得为每一次录用讲质量，生意那一侧则在数数量。
