Aims and Scope

Kawasaki Disease (KD) is the official, peer-reviewed, open-access journal of the Korean Society of Kawasaki Disease (KSKD). The journal serves as a multidisciplinary platform for disseminating clinical and scientific knowledge related to Kawasaki disease and Kawasaki-like syndromes, with particular emphasis on advancing understanding, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes.

The journal targets a broad international audience, including pediatricians, pediatric cardiologists, infectious disease specialists, thoracic surgeons, radiologists, and other healthcare professionals and researchers involved in the care of patients with Kawasaki disease or related vasculitides.

KD publishes a wide range of article types, including original research articles, clinical and translational reviews, case reports, editorials, and other scholarly works approved by the Publications Committee. Topics may include clinical management, basic science, imaging techniques, surgical innovations, epidemiology, and long-term sequelae of Kawasaki disease.

Published biannually on the official journal website (https://www.e-kd.org), KD aims to be indexed in major databases such as KoreaMed, PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, KoMCI, KoreaMed Synapse, and KCI, to increase accessibility and global visibility.
