Paediatrics is not simply adult medicine scaled down — it is a specialty where physiology changes with age, where developmental milestones define health, and where early intervention can reshape a child's entire life trajectory. Kmed Journal of Paediatrics exists for the paediatricians, neonatologists, and child health researchers who understand that caring for children requires fundamentally different clinical thinking.

We publish original research, clinical case reports, growth and development studies, therapeutic outcome analyses, and systematic reviews across the full breadth of paediatric practice. Whether you are reporting neonatal sepsis outcomes from your NICU, documenting a rare genetic syndrome, or evaluating malnutrition interventions in a community setting — if it advances how childhood illnesses are prevented, diagnosed, or treated, it belongs here. Every submission undergoes rigorous peer review, and every published article is freely accessible to the global paediatric community.

Scope & Focus Areas

We welcome submissions across all dimensions of paediatric medicine, including:

• Neonatology — prematurity, birth asphyxia, neonatal sepsis, RDS, NEC, and NICU outcomes
• Paediatric Infectious Diseases — pneumonia, diarrhea, enteric fever, TB, malaria, dengue, and vaccine-preventable diseases
• Nutrition & Growth — malnutrition, stunting, wasting, micronutrient deficiencies, and feeding disorders
• Developmental & Behavioral Paediatrics — developmental delay, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and learning disabilities
• Paediatric Cardiology — congenital heart disease, rheumatic heart disease, and paediatric arrhythmias
• Paediatric Neurology — seizures, febrile convulsions, cerebral palsy, meningitis, and neurodevelopmental disorders
• Paediatric Gastroenterology — chronic diarrhea, GI bleeding, liver disease, and nutritional management
• Paediatric Respiratory Medicine — asthma, bronchiolitis, tuberculosis, and chronic lung disease
• Paediatric Nephrology — UTI, nephrotic syndrome, acute kidney injury, and chronic kidney disease
• Paediatric Hematology-Oncology — anemia, hemophilia, thalassemia, leukemia, and solid tumors
• Paediatric Endocrinology — diabetes, thyroid disorders, growth hormone deficiency, and puberty disorders
• Adolescent Medicine — puberty, reproductive health, mental health, and substance use
• Paediatric Emergency Medicine — poisoning, trauma, dehydration management, and acute resuscitation
• Community Paediatrics — immunization coverage, child survival programs, and preventive health interventions

Peer Review You Can Trust Every manuscript is reviewed by subject-matter experts in paediatrics and child health. We prioritize clinical relevance, age-appropriate evidence, and child-centered outcomes.

Fast Turnaround Initial editorial decision within 21 days. We understand that paediatric residents completing dissertations and clinicians managing complex cases need timely publication decisions.

Author-Centered Process Dedicated editorial support from submission through publication — with guidance on growth chart presentation, developmental assessment documentation, and ethics approval for paediatric research.

Indexed & Discoverable Published articles are optimized for discoverability, ensuring your clinical findings and research outcomes reach the paediatricians and child health professionals who can learn from them.

Who Should Submit

Kmed Journal of Paediatrics is the right home for your work if you are a:

• MD Paediatrics resident or DCH candidate with a case report, NICU outcome study, or dissertation research
• Paediatrician or neonatologist with original research, therapeutic outcome data, or clinical case observations
• General practitioner or medical officer managing childhood illnesses in primary care or rural settings
• Faculty member or HOD in a Paediatrics department looking to build departmental research output and visibility
• Child health researcher, developmental psychologist, or nutritionist working on child health interventions

If your work improves how children grow, how childhood illnesses are managed, or how child survival is enhanced — this journal is for you.

Every premature baby you saved, every nutritional intervention you evaluated, every developmental delay you diagnosed early — that clinical experience and outcome data matters beyond your paediatric ward. Published, it becomes a resource for every paediatrics resident learning neonatal resuscitation, every rural medical officer managing childhood pneumonia with limited resources, and every child health researcher designing the next intervention.
