Editorial Team
The selection of editors for the Archives of Pediatric Neurosurgery is a deliberate and thoughtful process, as editors serve as both gatekeepers of scientific knowledge and the primary representatives of the journal to the broader academic community. Editors must be recognized by their peers for their expertise in pediatric neurosurgery or related fields, hold a PhD or equivalent academic degree, and be accessible and collaborative in supporting the journal’s editorial workflow.
The editorial board is completely renewed every two years to ensure fresh perspectives and to encourage wide participation from the academic community. Additionally, the composition of the board may be continuously modified to align with the journal’s evolving scientific priorities and operational needs.
Given the editor's influence on both the scientific direction of the journal and the professional growth of contributing authors, the selection process is not taken lightly. The tone of editorial communication, the fairness of peer review decisions, and the editor’s leadership all impact the quality, credibility, and development of the field. Editors shape not only what is published, but also how authors experience the journal—instilling confidence, motivation, or, at times, disappointment. For all these reasons, selecting a new editor is a decision with lasting effects, requiring high standards and shared vision.
