Acta Paediatrica is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal covering the field of pediatrics. It is published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the Foundation Acta Paediatrica.

History

It was established in 1921 and renamed Acta Paediatrica Scandinavica in 1964, returning to its original title in 1992. The original aim of the journal was "to give studies from the Nordic countries a worldwide audience" and papers were published in English, German and French; the journal later became an English-only journal. Since Rolf Zetterström became editor in the 1960s, the journal increasingly also published studies from outside the Nordic countries.[1] At the end of Zetterström's tenure as editor in the early 2000s, nearly two thirds of papers were authored by non-Nordic researchers.[2]

The journal is owned by the nonprofit Foundation Acta Paediatrica, which is hosted by the Karolinska Institute, where all the chief editors have been professors and the editorial office has always been based. The journal was published on behalf of the foundation by the Swedish publisher Almqvist & Wiksell from 1921 to 1992, by the Norwegian publisher Universitetsforlaget from 1992 to 2000, by Taylor & Francis from 2000 to 2007 and by Blackwell Publishing (later Wiley-Blackwell) from 2007.[2][1][3]

In addition to its ordinary issues the journal has published nearly 500 supplements.[1]
