The Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research is the official peer-reviewed publication of Dietitians of Canada. The Journal considers manuscripts for publication that focus on applied food and nutrition research and other contributions to best practices in dietetics. Manuscripts may be in English or French.
ARTICLE CATEGORIES
The Journal accepts manuscripts in the following four peer-reviewed categories: Original Research, Review, Perspectives in Practice, Reports/Case Studies.
Original Research
Manuscripts describing original research should include the following sections:
- Abstract - Provide a brief overview of the study and its findings.
- Introduction - A brief statement of the background, relevance and purpose of the research supported by pertinent references only.
- Methods - Describe clearly, selection of the subjects/research participants and sample size used in the analysis. Identify the methods, apparatus and procedures in sufficient detail to allow other researchers to reproduce results. Give references to established methods, including statistical; provide references and brief descriptions for methods that have been published but are not well known; describe new or substantially modified methods, give reasons for using them and evaluate their limitations. When reporting studies with human subjects, indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee. Describe statistical methods in sufficient detail to enable a knowledgeable reader with access to the original data to verify the reported results. When possible and appropriate, quantify findings and present them with appropriate indicators of measurement error or uncertainty (such as confidence intervals).
For qualitative research:
Provide contextual information on the participants. Describe and give the rationale for the sampling strategy and sample size. Describe data collection procedures and sample questions if using an interview guide. Describe the appropriateness of the data collection procedures. Describe the process of analysis in detail, emergence and evolution of themes, use of qualitative analysis software. Describe the steps taken to ensure trustworthiness of the findings. Describe the author's perspective, theoretical orientations, values, interests, assumptions and how these may have been changed during the research process.
- Results - Present results in logical sequence in the text, tables and illustrations. Restrict tables and illustrations to those required for clarification. Present data only once. When data are presented either in a tabular or graphic form, emphasize or summarize in the text only important observations.
For qualitative research:
Use examples from the material gathered to illustrate the meaning. Present the findings in a way that is coherent and integrated while preserving the nuances of the data. Examples should allow readers to form alternative meanings and understanding. Describe negative cases.
- Discussion - Emphasize the new and important aspects of the study and the conclusions that follow from them. Do not repeat, in detail, data or other material given in the Introduction or Results section. Include in the Discussion section the implications of the findings and their limitations, including implications for future research. Relate the observations to those of other relevant studies. Link the conclusions with the goals of the study and avoid unqualified statements and conclusions not completely supported by your data. Recommendations, when appropriate, may be included.
For qualitative research:
Specify considerations for extending the findings to other contexts and informants. May include questions and/or hypotheses generated by the study or emerging theories.
- Relevance to Practice - Relate the findings to practice.
Review
Manuscripts presenting a review of previously published literature should include: 1) abstract; 2) introduction; 3) body, which develops the subject in a logical order using appropriate subheadings and presents a balanced review of the literature and, where relevant, balanced recommendations; and 4) relevance to practice.
Perspectives in Practice
Manuscripts describing innovative programs, new tools or approaches, current issues or other aspects of practice should include: 1) abstract; 2) introduction; 3) body, which includes a statement of purpose, reflects a systematic approach to the investigation of the issue or description of the program, including supporting information and a statement of conclusions; and 4) relevance to practice.
Reports/Case Studies
Short reports of preliminary research and additional data from work already published should include the same subheads as research articles. Case studies or professional observations should illustrate useful new approaches to the nutrition assessment and management of an individual or situation, or identify unexpected findings or offer new insight into dietetic practice. The acceptable case report must present a credible hypothesis and clearly explain the rationale for developing the hypothesis from the evidence of the case.

AUTHOR RESPONSIBILITIES
Manuscript content and accuracy are the responsibility of the author(s). Credit for authorship requires substantial contributions to: a) conception and design or analysis and interpretation of data; and b) the drafting of the article or critical revision for important intellectual content.
Manuscripts submitted to the Journal must not have been published, submitted or accepted for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts in the research category must be original contributions. However, a manuscript adapted from work published elsewhere may be considered for one of the remaining categories at the discretion of the Editor. When submitting an article in any of the four categories above, the author should always make a full statement to the Editor about all submissions and prior reports that might be regarded as prior or duplicate publication of the same or very similar work. Copies of such material should be included with the submitted manuscripts.
Transference of Copyright
Manuscripts must be accompanied by a cover letter including the following statement: "The author(s) hereby transfer all copyright ownership to Dietitians of Canada in the event this article is published in the Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research." Where there is multiple authorship, all authors must sign this letter. The manuscript must be accompanied by copies of any permissions to reproduce published material, to use illustrations, to report sensitive personal information about identifiable persons, or to acknowledge persons for their contributions.
Once an article is accepted for publication in the Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research, consent must be obtained from the Editor before the manuscript, or parts thereof, may be published elsewhere in the same form.
Acknowledgments
Authors may wish to acknowledge, with their permission, persons who have made a substantial contribution to the work through technical help or advice. Authors must inform the Editor that such permission has been obtained. Authors should also disclose financial support in the form of grants, gifts, equipment or supplies in the acknowledgement. Sources of financial support should be identified on the Author's Page (see below).

Lines on each page must be numbered on the left-hand side of the page.
- Author's Page - All manuscripts must include a separate author's page that lists: 1) the title of the manuscript; 2) full names including first name, highest academic degree(s) and the institutional affiliation for all authors in the order they should appear in the published article; 3) the name and contact information (address, telephone and fax numbers and e-mail address, if available) of the corresponding author (responsible for correspondence about the manuscript during the publication process); 4) the name and address of the author who will handle requests for reprints, if this is different from the corresponding author or a statement that reprints will not be available from the authors; 5) the source(s) of financial support; 6) short title (eight words or less); and 7) three to 10 key words or short phrases that will assist indexers in cross-indexing your article.
- Title - The title should be specific and informative, conveying the findings of the research or review. The manuscript title should appear on the abstract, first page of the manuscript text, the author's page and all correspondence.
- Abstract - The abstract should be no more than 200 words. The abstract should state the purpose(s) of the study or investigation, basic procedures, main findings, and principal conclusions. Emphasize new and important aspects of the study or observations and relevance to practice.
- Text - The text should be prepared in accordance with the requirements of the manuscript category for which it is being submitted for publication, as described above.
- Footnotes - Number footnotes in the text consecutively, including those indicated on the title page. All the footnotes, except those on the title page, should be typed in consecutive order on a page separate from the text. For electronic files, they should be included at the end of a document in the same document file.
- References - Cite references in the text using consecutive numbers in parentheses. Cite the makers of software parenthetically in the text after the first mention, not in the list of references. Software citations should include the name, version number and release date, as well as the name and location of the manufacturer. List databases, but not software, with the references. Personal communications may not be cited as references but may be noted parenthetically in the text. Include a date and secure permission from the person quoted. Articles accepted for publication but not yet published can be designated in the list of references with the notation "in press" within parenthesis marks. Information from manuscripts submitted but not yet accepted should be cited in the text as "unpublished data". Authors are responsible for the accuracy of all references cited in the manuscript. For more information on references see the Reference Style section.
- Tables and Figures - Print each table or figure on a separate sheet. If supplying electronically, position at the end of the file. Number separately tables and figures in consecutive order following the sequence of citation in the text and supply a brief title for each. For tables, give each column a short or abbreviated heading. Place explanatory matter in footnotes, not in the heading. Indicate the approximate position of the tables or figures in the text thus: "Table 1 or Figure 1 near here".
- Numbers, Abbreviations and Units of Measure - Spell out numbers from one to nine, except for units of measure or statistical data (e.g. nine men, 9 g). Numbers that begin a sentence are always spelled out, as are any accompanying units of measure. Use standard abbreviations, including statistical notations. Units of length, height, weight, volume, temperature and clinical chemistry should be reported in the metric system in terms of the International System of Units. Energy values should be expressed in both kilocalories and Joules.
