The mission of the Journal of Pediatric Ethics (JPE) is to aid in the caring of children by creating a journal dedicated to the ethical complexities that arise in pediatric medicine. Our goal is to provide an educational periodical that will feature thoughtful and inspiring articles, highlight original research in the field of pediatric ethics, and promote good clinical practice through extensive case review.
The content of the Journal of Pediatric Ethics (JPE) represents only the opinions of the authors and editorial body of the periodical. The opinions and perspectives published do not necessarily represent the views of others within Children’s Minnesota or any other institution or organization represented or affiliated with our editorial advisory board.
The goal of JPE is the provide a space to have thought provoking and educational articles around the care of children and provide its readers with practical guidance for good clinical decision making. All feature articles are peer-reviewed. All copy is internally reviewed by our Editorial Advisory Board and members of our editorial group. Cases submitted for publication will not have identifiable personal information. Any PHI will be removed or changed to obscure patient, surrogate, and clinician identities. Although the cases may reflect actual experiences, for this publication they are more accurately composites that are hypothetical and are created strictly for the purpose of teaching and intellectual discourse.
All contributions to the Journal of Pediatric Ethics will be peer reviewed with the understanding that the submission has not been placed under consideration, accepted for publication, or in print elsewhere. Decisions of acceptance or rejection will be based on peer review recommendations and at the discretion of the editorial group. All authors of accepted material will be required to assign copyright to the publisher prior to release.
