Dear Colleague,

Fifteen years ago, the Journal of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine: An Interdisciplinary Approach Throughout the Lifespan (JPRM) was founded by a legendary, bold, and insightful pediatric rehabilitation specialist, Dr. Jacob Alan Neufeld.

Now, we are about to embark on making JPRM full open access so that the entire world will be able to see the research that is pertinent to the pediatric rehabilitation field. With our move to open access, we will maintain our stringent review process: every article will continue to be blindly reviewed by at least two experts in the field and all statistics will continue to be blindly reviewed by a qualified statistician. Open access will not mean that there is any less scrutiny. All manuscripts must still be accepted through the same stringent and high-quality peer review. After manuscripts are accepted, they are meticulously copyedited for readability and published in one of 4 issues annually.

With open access, we can reach more researchers, more clinicians, and more families, and we can thus make a positive impact worldwide on the care of children with rehabilitation needs throughout their lifespans.

We invite you to read the full announcement here. Accepted manuscripts submitted from January 1, 2023 will be published open access (CC BY-NC as a standard license). Please contact us if you have questions regarding the transition to a fully open access journal.

The editorial office and the editorial board at JPRM are looking forward to moving into the next chapter of our growth with you!

Sincerely yours,

Sara Tinsley
Managing Editor, Journal of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine
