Clinical Pediatric Endocrinology

About CPE

Clinical Pediatric Endocrinology (CPE), which is published quarterly, is the official Journal of the Japanese Society for Pediatric Endocrinology. The first issue (Vol. 1, No. 1) was released in 1992, and 29 volumes have been, regularly and continuously, published to date.

CPE accepts articles for publication on the understanding that they contribute to the progress of the field of clinical endocrinology and metabolism applicable from infancy through adolescence.

CPE has become an exclusively on-line journal from January issue of 2020 (Vol. 29, No. 1).

CPE is indexed in the following databases:

On submission, an associate editor first decides if the manuscript should be rejected without review or sent for peer review. If the manuscript is sent for peer review, the associate editor will select one or more reviewer(s) and then make a decision on the deposition of the manuscript. The average times to first and final decisions are 26.89 and 66.52 days (2025/01/01–2025/12/31), respectively.
