Commentary on Sleep in Pediatric and Developmental Conditions: The Three-Journal Special Issue Collaboration Between the Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics, Journal of Pediatric Psychology, and Clinical Practice in Pediatric Psychology.

Carolyn E. Ievers-Landis, PhD I am pleased to introduce this special issue on Sleep in Pediatric and Developmental Conditions that is a unique three-journal collaboration between the Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics (JDBP), the Journal of Pediatric Psychology (JPP), and Clinical Practice in Pediatric Psychology (CPPP). This collaboration came about through efforts to expand the interprofessional diversity of the Society of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics (SDBP) to psychology and a readership beyond our journal. As the liaison between SDBP and the Society of Pediatric Psychology, I introduced the concept of multiple journals publishing special issues at the same time in the area of pediatric sleep, which is of great interest to both societies. The editors of JPP and CPPP (Grayson Holmbeck, PhD, and Jennifer Shroff Pendley, PhD, respectively) were quite accommodating, as was JDBP’s editor, Lee Pachter, DO. I have had the privilege of working with 2 guest editors who are experts in pediatric sleep, Dean Beebe, PhD, for JPP and Lisa Meltzer, PhD, for CPPP. This was a complex process, requiring letters of intent so that we could channel various articles to particular journals to spread the submissions out somewhat evenly. I was impressed with the number and quality of submissions, and this turned into a competitive process for the acceptance of manuscripts into one of the special sleep issues. I am grateful for all who submitted either letters of intent or manuscripts, encourage their research in the field of pediatric sleep, and am hopeful to see future submissions from all of these researchers. Moreover, it is my hope that this three-journal collaboration, which has the dual purposes of increasing interprofessional reach between our societies and providing an expanded forum for publishing the latest research on sleep in pediatric and developmental conditions, may serve as a model for further cross-journal co-publishing for our journals or for other journals outside of developmental and behavioral pediatrics or pediatric psychology. Also, note that the publishers of these journals are different (Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc/Lippincott Williams & Wilkins for JDBP; Oxford University Press for JPP and CPPP) and were very flexible and amenable to this process, which has been greatly appreciated. For readers who wish to become more involved professionally in the world of behavioral sleep medicine, I invite you to consider joining the fairly newly formed Society of Behavioral Sleep Medicine (http://www. behavioralsleep.org/). Also, consider attending specialty sleep meetings, including SLEEP, which is an annual meeting organized jointly by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society, and the biannual Pediatric Sleep Meeting hosted by the Brown Warren Alpert Medical School that is typically held in November at Amelia Island, FL. Research regarding pediatric sleep is proliferating, and it is an exciting time to be involved in this field. The incredible creativity and diversity of content areas to explore are evident both within this issue of JDBP and in the companion issues of JPP and CPPP. Throughout this commentary, I will highlight aspects of all of the articles contained in this special issue while also pointing out particular articles published in the 2 other journals to make the most of this collaborative effort. The developmental conditions for this journal’s articles represent those often highlighted in the field of developmental and behavioral pediatrics and in SDBP’s annual meetings, including premature birth, autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), attention disorders, special health care needs (SHCNs), and genetic conditions. Sleep is examined across all of these conditions from various vantage points. As follows is a description of the studies in order of presentation in our special issue, including highlights from articles from the other 2 journals as pertinent.
