ARI 2023 Call for Proposals
The Editors-in-Chief of Pediatric Research announce the topic of the 2023 Annual Review Issue, entitled "The emerging role of artificial intelligence, big data analysis and precision medicine in Pediatrics."
The significance of the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in Pediatric Medicine such as machine learning, deep learning, and cognitive computing is emerging. Big data are extremely large datasets like minute-to-minute monitoring of vital signs, "omics" data (e.g., genomics, metabolomics, proteomics), environmental and lifestyle-related factors, socio-demographics, and data from standardized electronic health records (EHRs) or precision medicine platforms. Big data analysis by AI may facilitate identification of novel genotypes or phenotypes leading to personalized, targeted therapy, support clinical decision tools and identify unknown risk factors for childhood diseases.
For this review issue of Pediatric Research, the editors are seeking review articles examining the critical roles of AI, big data analysis and precision medicine that will set the stage for the future of Pediatrics and innovative research in the field.
This is an excellent opportunity for junior faculty to pair up with senior mentors to develop these reviews!
Please note that standard publication page fees are waived for manuscripts included in the Annual Review Issue!
Letters of intent should include a proposed title and be sent to info@pedres.org by November 5th 2021. Please include "ARI 2023 Proposal" in the subject line.
