The Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine & Dentistry Journal (PAMD-J) is a hybrid, peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to the advancement of clinical practice and research across pediatric and adolescent healthcare, with an integrative focus on both medicine and dentistry. By operating under a fully open-access publishing model, PAMD-J ensures broad global accessibility and academic impact across disciplines.
PAMD-J was established with a clear mission: to bridge the gap between medical and dental disciplines in the care of children and adolescents. The journal promotes a unified, interdisciplinary approach to pediatric healthcare, encouraging submissions that explore the intersection of clinical medicine, dentistry, public health, and policy-making.
We welcome original research articles, systematic reviews, clinical trials, case reports, and technical notes that contribute to improved outcomes in prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and long-term care of pediatric and adolescent populations. Areas of focus include (but are not limited to):
Pediatric medicine and surgery
Pediatric oral health and dental development
Adolescent behavioral and developmental health
Interdisciplinary models of care
Preventive and community-based approaches
Innovations in diagnostics and therapeutics
Healthcare delivery and health systems research
Pediatric nutrition and metabolic disorders

All submissions undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process, guided by a diverse and international Editorial Board composed of leading experts in pediatric and dental sciences. The journal adheres to the highest standards of scientific integrity, methodological rigor, and ethical responsibility.
Through its open-access model and commitment to editorial excellence, PAMD-J serves as a vital platform for disseminating impactful, evidence-based research that shapes best practices and informs future directions in pediatric and adolescent care. As it grows, the journal continues to foster collaboration among clinicians, researchers, and healthcare policymakers to address emerging challenges and improve health outcomes for the next generation.
The Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine & Dentistry Journal (PAMD-J) invites submissions for its inaugural issue, focusing on interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed research that advances clinical and academic understanding in pediatric and adolescent healthcare. Manuscripts must demonstrate scientific rigor, clinical relevance, and innovation in either medicine, dentistry, or both.
