At the cutting edge of pediatric critical care medicine, the Korean Society of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine (KSPCCM) has been making significant strides toward the advancement of this important field. Now, after years of dedication and hard work, we have launched Archives of Pediatric Critical Care (APCC), an international, peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to publishing the most recent clinical and research articles in the field of pediatric intensive and critical care medicine.

As the official journal of the KSPCCM, APCC will play a leading role in raising awareness of the clinical and academic aspects of pediatric critical care. The journal aims to facilitate the rapid dissemination of up-to-date knowledge derived from clinical and experimental results to inform all healthcare professionals involved in pediatric critical care and advance the field.

APCC will publish a diverse range of articles, including editorials, original articles, review articles, case reports, and letters to the editor. Each of these articles will aim to provide new and exciting insights concerning the major topics related to pediatric critical care. Above all, APCC will serve as a platform for facilitating scholarly discussions and idea exchanges among experts, ultimately contributing to ongoing efforts to enhance clinical practice and patient outcomes.

In conclusion, this marks a historic moment in the field of pediatric critical care medicine, as APCC begins its journey to illuminate and shape the discipline. APCC aspires to be the premier journal for the most recent research developments in this field and invites contributions from authors and readers across the globe.
