CHANGE IN ARTICLE SUBMISSION TO APN

2026-01-26

The Editorial Board of the Archives of Pediatric Neurosurgery informs that, as of January 26, 2026, article submissions will no longer be carried out using forms. From that date onward, manuscripts must be submitted exclusively through the complete completion of the TEMPLATE, which is already structured for review and publication and is the responsibility of the authors.

Thanks to this new submission model, we aim to keep the journal open access and free of additional charges.
