PMs first Impact Factor of 0.9, from 2024, demonstrates that the journal is expanding and reaching out. Its articles are now highly viewed and the next goal is to be listed in Pubmed. Thus the journal will play an increasingly important role in international pediatrics, and especially, it will be important in reflecting the rapidly development in Chinese pediatric medicine reaching the international forefront.
