《兒科國際》發表兒科和兒童健康分娩方面的科學優秀文章，旨在鼓勵參與兒童健康研究、實踐和分娩的人員分享他們的經驗、想法和成就。《兒科學學報》原名Acta Paediatrica Japonica, 1999年更名為《兒科學國際》(Pediatrics International)，反映了該雜志在讀者數量和貢獻方面的國際地位(約45%的文章來自非日本作者)。編輯們繼續堅定地致力于分享科學信息，造福世界各地的兒童。《兒科國際》向全世界所有作者敞開了大門。兩名專家僅根據他們對原始數據的貢獻、原始想法和他們的表述對手稿進行判斷。

Publishing articles of scientific excellence in pediatrics and child health delivery, Pediatrics International aims to encourage those involved in the research, practice and delivery of child health to share their experiences, ideas and achievements. Formerly Acta Paediatrica Japonica, the change in name in 1999 to Pediatrics International, reflects the journal's international status both in readership and contributions (approximately 45% of articles published are from non-Japanese authors). The Editors continue their strong commitment to the sharing of scientific information for the benefit of children everywhere. Pediatrics International opens the door to all authors throughout the world. Manuscripts are judged by two experts solely upon the basis of their contribution of original data, original ideas and their presentation.
