One of the most fruitful achievements of the Group of Editors of Pediatric Journals of the South Cone is the publication of the 10 best original articles, selected from the scientific production published each year by these six journals.

In its most recent meeting, held in La Paz, Bolívia, on November 15 and 16th 2007, the Group selected the 10 best articles of the year 2006. Two of these articles were originally published in Jornal de Pediatria and are available below:
