Pediatric Highlights

The history of IJO's Pediatric Highlights began in 2002 when Associate Editor, Angelo Pietrobelli, remarked that the field of pediatric obesity did not have a journal of its own and inquired whether we thought it was time for such a journal. An analysis of the number and quality of pediatric papers submitted to IJO led to the conclusion that an independent pediatric obesity journal at that time probably would not have sufficient submissions to be successful, however, the seed was planted and a plan was formulated to have a section devoted to papers on pediatric obesity in several IJO issues each year. The Pediatric Highlights section has since flourished with investigators from the pediatric obesity field rewarding IJO by making it a preferred journal for some of their best papers. We now pull these papers into an online collection and look forward to continue serving the field and publishing the very best papers in pediatric obesity each year.
