Overview
The Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal publishes original manuscripts, in English or French, pertaining to diagnostic imaging. Submitted manuscripts should not contain previously published material and should not be under consideration for publication by another journal.
The following guidelines are based on instructions outlined in the "Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals" (CMAJ 1997;156(2):270-7). Acceptance of articles is based on a combination of peer and editorial review; all reviews are conducted in a blinded fashion. Accepted manuscripts will be edited for conformity with journal style (including grammar, syntax and punctuation), as well as for clarity. It is the responsibility of the corresponding author for each manuscript to review these editorial revisions on page proofs provided by the publisher, and to obtain the coauthors' approval of the final version of the paper. Before publication, all authors must sign a document transferring copyright to the Canadian Association of Radiologists.
All accepted manuscripts become the permanent property of the Canadian Association of Radiologists and may not be published elsewhere, in whole or in part, without written permission from the Canadian Medical Association.
Reprints of articles published in the Journal may be purchased by the authors and others; no reprints are provided free of charge. A reprint order form is sent to the corresponding author with the proofs.
