Karger AG, Basell Policy Statement The Nestlé Nutrition Institute was created to provide health professionals with up-to-date information on nutrition and nutrition- related disorders in order to enable them to continuously improve patient care based on the latest medical and scientific developments. One of the key pillars of the Nestlé Nutrition Institute is Annales Nestlé, a pediatric journal that has been published on a regular basis since 1942. It contains review articles on clinical practice and research in all fields of pediatrics with focus on nutrition. Annales Nestlé appears three times a year. Each article is supported by a Focus Page, and each issue by an Infographic illustrating the core topic. Published on www.nestlenutrition-institute.org as well as in print, Annales Nestlé is one of the most widely read pediatric journals in the world. Annales Nestlé is edited by an independent editorial board of opinion leaders in pediatric research, thus guaranteeing the medical and scientific impartiality of the journal, and hence the high regard it enjoys in medical and scientific circles. The editorial board sets the editorial policy, identifies topics to be addressed, selects authors, and oversees the review process for each issue. Every issue of Annales Nestlé initially appears as a supplement to Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism – a journal from Karger Publishers, Basel, Switzerland – and is listed in all major bibliographic services, such as Medline, PubMed, and Web of Science. This has been our practice since 2011. We are pleased to offer you our innovative product, which results from a creative and effective cooperation with Karger Publishers, Switzerland.
