This has been another extraordinary year for JAMA Pediatrics. We continue to pursue our mission to vet and disseminate the best science and perspectives related to child health. By the numbers presented in the Table,^1-3 2019 was another extraordinary year for the journal. We received 2736 manuscripts, and our acceptance rate for research articles was 8%. Our impact factor inched up again to 12.0 and remains the highest of any pediatric journal in the world.

JAMA Pediatrics serves 2 sets of customers: readers and authors. For our authors, we aim to provide quick and thoughtful review of manuscripts. In most cases, this means manuscripts are only reviewed internally and not sent out for review. We make these decisions when we are confident that for a variety of reasons, the manuscript is not appropriate for our journal. For articles we do send out for peer review, the median turnaround time is 14 days. For our readers, we aim to bring science to the fore as quickly as possible. Our median acceptance to publication time is 102 days. But in the 21st century, science is disseminated in many other ways; we have a social media presence on Twitter and Facebook that continues to grow, millions of downloaded articles, and monthly podcasts⁴ that are of ever-increasing popularity. Finally, a relatively new measure of article impact is the Altmetric score, which uses a proprietary algorithm to quantify the quality and amount of attention an article receives from traditional and social media around the world. Our top 3 articles^1-3 by Altmetric score from the past year are presented in the Table. Notably, the article with the highest Almetric score rekindled an old controversy related to the neurotoxic effects of fluoride. As noted in my Editor’s Note,⁵ publishing it was a deliberative decision. The ensuing media attention was not lost on policy makers or researchers, and I am hopeful that well-designed subsequent follow-up studies will further elucidate whether there is a true causal relationship here.

JAMA Pediatrics benefits immensely from being part of the JAMA Network. Submitted manuscripts can flow seamlessly from one journal to another where they might be a better fit. Published articles are frequently cross-linked with editorials or related content in other JAMA Network journals.

对于JAMA儿科来说，这又是不平凡的一年。我们继续追求我们的使命，以审查和传播与儿童健康有关的最佳科学和观点。根据表中提供的数字，2019年^{1 -3}月对于该期刊而言又是不平凡的一年。我们收到了2736份手稿，对研究论文的接受率为8％。我们的影响因子再次提高到12.0，并且仍然是世界上所有儿科杂志中最高的。

JAMA Pediatrics为两组客户提供服务：读者和作者。对于我们的作者，我们旨在提供快速周到的手稿审阅。在大多数情况下，这意味着稿件仅在内部进行审阅，而不会发送给审阅。当我们出于各种原因确信稿件不适合我们的期刊时，我们会做出这些决定。对于我们确实发送给同行评审的文章，平均周转时间为14天。对于我们的读者，我们旨在尽快使科学脱颖而出。我们接受出版时间的中位数为102天。但是在21世纪，科学以许多其他方式传播。我们在Twitter和Facebook上拥有不断增长的社交媒体形象，数百万下载的文章以及每月播客⁴越来越受欢迎。最后，相对较新的衡量文章影响的指标是Altmetric得分，该得分使用专有算法来量化文章从世界各地的传统媒体和社交媒体获得的关注的质量和数量。下表列出了过去一年中我们通过Altmetric得分排名前三的文章^{1 -3}。值得注意的是，Almetric得分最高的文章重新引发了与氟化物的神经毒性作用有关的古老争议。正如我在《编者注》中指出的那样，⁵出版是经过深思熟虑的决定。随之而来的媒体关注并没有失去决策者或研究人员，我希望精心设计的后续研究将进一步阐明这里是否存在真正的因果关系。

成为JAMA网络的一部分，JAMA儿科将从中受益匪浅。提交的稿件可以从一本期刊无缝地流向另一本期刊，因为它们可能更适合。发表的文章经常与其他JAMA Network期刊中的社论或相关内容交叉链接。
