title: What is the purpose of launching the World Journal of Clinical Pediatrics?
abstract: The first issue of the World Journal of Clinical Pediatrics (WJCP), whose preparatory work was initiated on January 10, 2011, will be published on June 8, 2012. The WJCP editorial board has now been established and consists of 100 distinguished experts from 31 countries. Our purpose of launching the WJCP is to publish peer-reviewed, high-quality articles via an open-access online publishing model, thereby acting as a platform for communication between peers and the wider public, and maximizing the benefits to editorial board members, authors and readers.
