Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry

Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry is a bimonthly for dentists who treat children, run by MRE Press in Singapore, and it has been in print since a 1976 launch under another name.《临床儿童牙科杂志》是给看儿童的牙医读的双月刊，由新加坡的 MRE Press 经办，从 1976 年以另一个刊名创刊至今一直在出。

The stated purpose is narrow and practical. It exists so that a dentist in practice can reach the state of the art in pediatric dentistry, from prevention to the management of the problems children actually present with.宗旨窄而实用。它要的是让开业牙医够得着儿童牙科的前沿，从预防一直到孩子真正带着来的那些问题的处理。

Its 2025 impact factor is 2.3, the five-year figure 2.1, and the title sits in the second quartile of both dentistry and pediatrics. Since June 2022 every paper has been free to read.2025 年影响因子 2.3，五年值 2.1，在牙科与儿科两个类目里都处第二区。从 2022 年 6 月起，所有文章都免费可读。

Scope

• The scope sentence is written for the chairside. Clinically relevant information is the test, and a paper that cannot change what happens in a surgery has a weaker claim on the space than one that can.范围那句话是照着椅旁写的。临床相关性就是标准，改不了诊室里的事的文章，占地盘的资格就比改得动的弱。

• Prevention comes first in that sentence, which for a children's journal means caries control, fluoride, dietary advice and the recall interval rather than the surgery at the end of the disease.那句话里预防排在最前，对一份儿童刊物来说，这指的是龋齿控制、氟化物、饮食建议与复查间隔，不是疾病走到尽头那台手术。

• Twelve kinds of contribution are listed. Original research, reviews, mini-reviews, systematic reviews, short communications, case reports, letters to the editor, commentaries, rapid reports, news and views, editorials and meeting reports all have a home.稿件列了十二类。原创研究、综述、短评述、系统综述、简报、病例报告、致编辑信、评论、快报、见闻、社论与会议报道，都有位置。

• The review family is unusually wide for a clinical title. A systematic review with a search strategy and a mini-review of a technique both fit, and both are judged on whether the conclusion can be used.综述这一类对一份临床刊来说铺得很开。带检索策略的系统综述与只谈一项技术的短评述都收，取舍都看结论用不用得上。

• Case reports keep their place. In a field where a child's dentition is changing under the treatment, a well-documented single case carries information that no trial will supply.病例报告保住了位置。在一个孩子的牙列会在治疗中改变的领域里，一例记录完整的个案带来的东西，试验给不了。

• Pulp therapy and behaviour management each anchor a recent special issue, which shows where the editorial board thinks the practical demand sits.牙髓治疗与行为管理各撑起一期近年的专刊，编委会认为实务上的需求在哪里，从这里看得出。

• A second pair of special issues takes materials and technology on one side and caries epidemiology on the other, the two ends of a journal that runs from the population to the composite restoration.另一对专刊，一边是材料与技术，一边是龋病流行病学，一份从人群一路管到复合树脂充填的刊物，两头都在这里。

• Orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics appear through the interests of the board rather than a section heading, with growth guidance, interceptive treatment and aligner work all represented among the editors.正畸与颌面矫形靠编委的研究方向立住，没有单设栏，生长引导、阻断性治疗与隐形矫治在编者名单里都找得到人。

• Dental traumatology runs through the same list. Fractured incisors, avulsion and splinting are ordinary material in a children's journal, and several board members name trauma as their field.牙外伤在同一张名单上。折断的门牙、全脱位与固定，在儿童刊里是家常题目，好几位编委把外伤写成自己的方向。

• Dental materials get their own attention, from adhesion to primary enamel through to the properties of composites used in a child's mouth, where the restoration has to last through a growth spurt.牙科材料另有位置，从乳牙釉质的粘接到儿童口腔里所用复合树脂的性能，那里的充填物得撑过一段生长期。

• Public health dentistry is present as well, in caries prevalence work, in access questions and in the epidemiology that decides how a prevention programme is aimed.公共牙科也在其中，龋病患病率的研究、就医可及性的问题，以及决定预防方案往哪打的流行病学，都算。

• Authors retain copyright. Papers from volume 46, issue 5 onward carry the CC BY licence, so a figure may be reused in teaching or in another paper once the attribution is given.版权归作者。第 46 卷第 5 期起的文章挂 CC BY 许可，图可以用在教学或另一篇论文里，署上出处即可。

• The journal is read in the surgery rather than in the library. Full texts download free from the journal's own site, and a case report from 2026 costs the same as a PDF from 2001.这份刊是在诊室里读的，不是藏书楼里读的。全文从刊物自己的站上免费下载，2026 年的病例报告与 2001 年的 PDF 一样不要钱。

History

• The founding year is 1976, and the founder was George E. White, who took the editor's chair at the same time. The journal carried the name Journal of Pedodontics, and the first issue came out in 1977.创刊年是 1976 年，创办人是 George E. White，他同时坐上了主编的位置。刊物当时叫 Journal of Pedodontics，创刊号 1977 年出。

• The name changed in 1990, when the journal became Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry. Volume numbering did not restart, and that continuity is why volume 50 covers 2026.1990 年改名为 Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry，卷号没有从头再数，这条连续性正是第 50 卷对应 2026 年的原因。

• Read off the archive, the arithmetic is the year minus 1976. Volume 24 covered 2000 and volume 50 covers 2026, with the rename falling at volume 15 in 1990.照过刊推，算法是年份减 1976。第 24 卷对应 2000 年，第 50 卷对应 2026 年，改名落在 1990 年的第 15 卷。

• The imprint has moved across the Pacific. The early volumes were issued from Birmingham, Alabama, by the house that carried the old title's name, and current volumes are issued from Singapore by MRE Press.出版印记跨过了太平洋。早期各卷在阿拉巴马州的伯明翰出版，出版方的名字带着旧刊名，现在的各卷由新加坡的 MRE Press 出。

• Indexing came in two steps. Science Citation Index Expanded picked the journal up in 2008, and the first impact factor, 0.474, arrived in 2010.收录分两步。科学引文索引扩展版 2008 年收了这份刊，第一个影响因子 0.474 在 2010 年下来。

• MEDLINE's coverage record stops at volume 48, number 6, November 2024, having begun at volume 15 in 1990, so a reader who works through PubMed sees the older half of the run.MEDLINE 的收录记录止于 2024 年 11 月的第 48 卷第 6 期，起点是 1990 年的第 15 卷，靠 PubMed 找文献的读者，看得到的是这套刊的前半段。

• MRE Press took over in 2022, starting from volume 46, issue 5, and turned the journal fully open access on 1 June of that year, with CC BY as the licence from that issue on.MRE Press 2022 年接手，从第 46 卷第 5 期起，并在当年 6 月 1 日把刊物转成完全开放获取，从那一期起许可是 CC BY。

• Six issues a year is the current rhythm, and the September 2026 issue is volume 50, number 5.现在一年六期，2026 年 9 月那一期是第 50 卷第 5 期。

• Crossref holds 2,111 records, and the yearly count has climbed, from 73 items in 2019 through 97 in 2023 to 142 in 2025, which is close to a doubling in six years.Crossref 存着 2,111 条记录，年条数一路往上，2019 年 73 条，2023 年 97 条，2025 年 142 条，六年里几乎翻了一倍。

• Five impact factors read 1.065 for 2021, 1.338 for 2022, 1.5 for 2023, 2.2 for 2024 and 2.3 for 2025. The climb is steady, and the jump between 2023 and 2024 is the largest step in it.五个影响因子是 2021 年 1.065，2022 年 1.338，2023 年 1.5，2024 年 2.2，2025 年 2.3。一路往上，2023 到 2024 之间那一级跨得最大。

• The 2025 file credits 2,412 citations and gives a cited half-life of 7.8 years, with 146 articles in the year. That is a working archive rather than a long one.2025 年的表记下 2,412 次引用，被引半衰期 7.8 年，当年 146 篇文章。这份存档是靠人用的，不是靠年头长的。

• The two categories tell different stories. Dentistry places it 67th of 165 and pediatrics 55th of 190, so the journal ranks higher among children's doctors than among dentists.两个类目讲的事情不一样。牙科把它放在 165 种里的第 67 位，儿科放在 190 种里的第 55 位，在儿科医生当中的名次比在牙医当中靠前。

• Scopus puts CiteScore at 3.1 for 2025, a figure the publisher prints on the aims page next to the impact factor.Scopus 给的 2025 年 CiteScore 是 3.1，出版社把它与影响因子并排印在宗旨页上。

Editors

• Andrea Scribante of the University of Pavia holds the editor-in-chief post, and has since 2022. He works in the orthodontics and paediatric dentistry unit at Pavia and came to the journal with a publication record in dental materials.帕维亚大学的 Andrea Scribante 任主编，从 2022 年起。他在帕维亚的正畸与儿童牙科部门工作，接手刊物时已有一批牙科材料的论文。

• The founder is still on the masthead. George E. White, who started the journal in 1976, is listed as an associate editor with the emeritus label and an affiliation at Tufts University.创办人还留在刊头。1976 年开办这份刊的 George E. White 列在副编辑一栏，带名誉头衔，单位挂塔夫茨大学。

• Two former editors-in-chief sit beside him. Benjamin Peretz of Tel Aviv University led the journal from 2017 to 2019, and Marc Saadia, who practised in Mexico City, held the chair from 2006 to 2022, part of that time as co-editor.两位前主编与他并列。特拉维夫大学的 Benjamin Peretz 在 2017 至 2019 年主持刊物，墨西哥城开业的 Marc Saadia 从 2006 年到 2022 年执掌，其中一段与别人共同主编。

• A fourth associate editor, Amaury Pozos-Guillen of San Luis Potosi University, carries the Mexican clinical trials connection and edits from the postgraduate programme there.第四位副编辑是圣路易斯波托西大学的 Amaury Pozos-Guillen，接的是墨西哥的临床试验这条线，从当地的研究生项目里编稿。

• Pavia holds three seats in all, Scribante, Simone Gallo and Maurizio Pascadopoli, all in the same unit, which makes one Italian department a visible centre of gravity on the board.帕维亚共占三席，Scribante、Simone Gallo 与 Maurizio Pascadopoli，都在同一个部门，一个意大利科室因此在编委会里成了看得见的重心。

• The board runs to roughly three dozen names across some fifteen countries, with the United States and Mexico each holding several, and India, Brazil, Israel, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Turkey, Qatar, Australia, Hong Kong and Taiwan all represented.编委会约三十余人，散在十五个国家上下，美国与墨西哥各占数席，印度、巴西、以色列、意大利、西班牙、瑞典、丹麦、土耳其、卡塔尔、澳大利亚、香港与台湾都有人。

• Training institutions rather than private practices fill most of the list, from Tufts and Kentucky to Hadassah and Aarhus, which is what a clinical journal needs when it wants a paper read by people who teach the technique.名单上多是院校，私人诊所少，从塔夫茨、肯塔基到哈达萨与奥胡斯，一份临床刊想让技术被教这门技术的人读到，靠的就是这个。

• The review clock is published rather than hidden. A preliminary check takes one to seven days with a median of four, and peer review runs four to fourteen weeks with a median of 8.3 weeks.审稿的时间表公开摆着，不藏着。初审一到七天，中位数四天，同行评议四到十四周，中位数 8.3 周。

• Special issues are commissioned with named guest editors and stated deadlines, which is why a topic such as pulp therapy in pediatric dentistry arrives as a collected set rather than one paper at a time.专刊由具名的客座编辑操办，截止日期也写明，儿童牙科牙髓治疗这样的题目因此成组出现，不会一篇一篇地来。
