Journal of Pediatric Health And Nutrition

Aims and Scope

Journal of Pediatric Health and Nutrition (JPHN) is an open access, peer reviewed journal and plays a pivotal role in advancing the well-being of society by serving as a vital platform for the dissemination of cutting-edge research and scholarly insights in the fields of pediatric health and nutrition. Through its rigorous peer-review process and commitment to excellence, JPHN significantly influences the advancement of pediatric health and nutrition, ultimately making a profound impact on the overall health and development of future generations.

JPHN encourages research from diverse disciplines, including medicine, nursing, nutrition, public health, pediatric health, psychology, and social sciences. JPHN is interested in research that explores the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in diagnosing and treating pediatric health conditions, monitoring nutritional status, predicting health outcomes, and improving healthcare delivery for children.
