The Journal of Child Neurology is a peer-reviewed medical journal that covers the field of pediatric neurology. The editor-in-chief is Marc C. Patterson ( Mayo Clinic). The journal was established in 1986 and is published by SAGE Publications.
The journal was founded by Roger Brumback, MD in 1986, [1] nearly simultaneously with the founding of the journal Pediatric Neurology. John B. Bodensteiner and Robert M. Shuman were associate editors; Bodensteiner would later become senior associate editor. [2] Initial board members included Jean Aicardi, Jack Shonkoff and Marvin A. Fishman. [3]

in 2013, Brumback started a Residents and Fellows Editorial Board of the Journal. Audrey Foster-Barber, MD, PhD was the initial Associate Editor of this section, assisted by Yasmin Khakoo and Kara Stuart Lewis. [5]
Alison Christy was director of the board from 2017-2021. Sonika Agarwal has been the director of this board since 2021.
Alison Christy started making podcasts for the Journal of Child Neurology as a member of the Residents and Fellows Board in 2016. [6] Podcasts are on a variety of topics related to pediatric neurology and are found with other podcasts connected to SAGE journals at the SAGE Neuroscience and Neurology website. [7]
From 2014-2024, the journal was associated with a peer-reviewed open-access journal called Child Neurology Open. [8] Marc C. Patterson was the editor-in-chief from 2014-2020. Alison Christy was the editor-in-chief from January, 2021 until the journal's closure January 1, 2024. [9]
