Seminars in Pediatric Surgery increasing to six issues per year
Seminars in Pediatric Surgery was first published in 1992 to serve as a bridge between the current journals and the next edition of major textbooks in the field. The purpose of the new journal was to select a topic of significant interest and importance to pediatric surgeons and cover it in great depth often beyond the content of certain texts. An individual who was an expert on the subject was chosen to serve as the Guest Editor of the issue and he or she subsequently invited 8–10 contributors to provide articles for each issue that covered various aspects of the main topic. Dr. Steven Gans and I were the founding co-editors of the Journal. Two years later, Dr. Gans unfortunately passed away, and I have had the privilege of serving as the editor of Seminars since that time. Over the years, the quarterly journal gradually became a valuable resource for reviewing topics in the specialty. Seminars was clearly recognized as an important addition to the journals available in the field. At present, the Seminars has the highest impact factor of all pediatric surgical journals worldwide. Based on its growing popularity and suggestions from the readership,
