Revista Chilena de Pediatría: 90 años de historia

Revista Chilena de Pediatria (RCHP) has been published uninterruptedly since its first edition in January 1930, beyond political and economic fluctuations, technological innovation, and social transformations. The objective of this article is to pay tribute to and thank the editors who participated so actively in the publication of the RCHP and to review the major milestones, which have led it to the position it has today as a mainstream magazine. Since its entry into the digital world two decades ago, there has been a significant increase in the flow of manuscripts received, participation of foreign authors, citations received and promotion in international rankings. In 2014, the RCHP was incorporated into the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and, in 2017, into the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), while evaluating to receive an Impact Factor (IF) from the Journal Citation Report (JCR). As a representative magazine of a scientific society, it is essential to maintain a balance between scientific and economic sustainability, the promotion of national and international publication, the scientific impact need for continuing rising in international rankings, and the impact on our children›s care in the different corners of the country.
