About the journal
Mission Statement
The Journal is the authoritative written voice of the Canadian Dental Association providing dialogue between the national association and the dental community. It is dedicated to publishing worthy scientific and clinical articles and informing dentists of issues significant to the profession.
Instructions to Authors
Information for Authors
Introduction
The paper version of the Journal of the Canadian Dental Association (JCDA) has a monthly circulation of over 19,000 copies, and reaches all dentists and dental students in Canada as well as subscribers outside the country. The electronic version of the JCDA is at http://www.cda-adc.ca/jcda . The JCDA is indexed on Medline and in Index Medicus. The JCDA endorses the uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals (http://www.icmje.org/) and the CONSORT statement relating to improving the quality of reports of randomized clinical trials (www.consort-statement.org). Authors are advised to read these requirements.
Authors writing for the JCDA should note that the majority of its readers are general dental practitioners. Specialists and clinical researchers should therefore direct their articles to this audience.
Scope of the Journal
The Journal is a general dental journal concerned with science-based clinical practice and the major issues (e.g., clinical, demographic, educational, ethical, legal and regulatory) facing the dental profession.
Types of manuscripts accepted

Original submissions reporting findings of clinical research projects. Submitted papers must be pertinent to clinical decision making. The text, excluding abstract and references, must not exceed 2,500 words.

Preparing your manuscript (paper format)
Type the manuscript on 8 1/2" x 11" paper with margins of one inch on all sides. Use double spacing throughout and arrange the manuscript in the following sequence, with each section beginning on a new page: title page; abstract; text; acknowledgments; references; individual tables and figure legends. Number pages consecutively, in the upper right-hand corner, beginning with the title page. To accommodate blinded peer review, place the names of authors only on the cover page.
TITLE PAGE
This page should contain the title; each author's name, academic degrees, institutional affiliation and address; and the postal address, fax, telephone and e-mail of the author responsible for correspondence about the manuscript. Sources of support in the form of grants, equipment or drugs should be mentioned in a footnote. Include the word count for the text on the title page.
ABSTRACT
Include a structured abstract of up to 250 words for research articles and systematic reviews, and up to 150 words for other types of articles, depending on the length of the text. The abstract should be factual, not descriptive, giving the main points of the paper.
TEXT
The average article in JCDA contains six to eight manuscript pages of text (approximately 1,500 to 2,000 words), not including title page, abstract, tables, reference list, etc. Manuscripts longer than 2,500 words will not be accepted.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
You may acknowledge professional help in the preparation or review of your manuscript.
REFERENCES
Emphasize recent references (past five years). In general, avoid references older than 10 years, letters to the editor or editorials. Do not use abstracts, unpublished observations, manuscripts in preparation or submitted for publication, personal communications or references from journals that our readers will have difficulty accessing.
To avoid plagiarism, be sure not to use the language, content or concepts of another source without appropriate citation. Do not use extensive verbatim or near verbatim portions of text from another source, even with appropriate citation.
Number references in the text in the order of citation. Arrange them numerically, not alphabetically, in the reference list, which should be double-spaced. Follow the style used in Index Medicus. Do not exceed 35 references. In the text, references should be superscript (please do not use Footnote function).
References first cited in tables or figure legends must be numbered so that they will be in sequence with references cited in the text.
Note the following examples of reference style:
Standard journal article
1. Tam L. Clinical trial of three 10% carbamide peroxide bleaching products. J Can Dent Assoc 1999; 65(4):201-5.
2. Feine JS, de Grandmont P, Boudrias P, Brien N, LaMarche C, Tach?R, and others. Within-subject comparisons of implant-supported mandibular prostheses: choice of prosthesis. J Dent Res 1994; 73(5):1105-11.

Please note that no periods are used after authors' initials or journal abbreviations, and that "and others" is used after the sixth author's name when there are more than six authors. Include beginning and ending page numbers for journal and book references.
ILLUSTRATIONS (TABLES AND FIGURES)
Number tables and figures sequentially with arabic numerals (e.g., Table 1, Figure 1) and reference them at the appropriate places in the text.
Give complete reference data and include photocopies of all tables and figures taken or adapted from other sources.
Tables
Tables should be understandable without reference to the text. They should not duplicate the text. Type each table double-spaced on a separate sheet of paper and include a title.
Top
Figures
JCDA encourages the submission of original artwork that highlight the text. Photographs in which patients are identifiable must be accompanied by the subjects' written permission to publish the photographs.
Symbols, lettering and arrows in figures should be clear and large enough to remain legible if the illustration is reduced when published. On the back of each photograph or slide, use a self-adhesive label to indicate the figure number, the author's last name and the proper orientation (i.e., "top"). Do not use paper clips or write on the back of photographs.
Type figure legends double-spaced on a separate sheet of paper.
STYLE GUIDELINES
JCDA style guidelines are available from Ms. Rachel Galipeau ( rgalipeau@cda-adc.ca ) at 1-800-267-6354, ext. 2221 (in Canada), or (613) 523-1770, ext. 2221 (from outside Canada).
Use of Proprietary Names. Generic names should be used for all drugs and materials. When a trade name must be used, cite (in parentheses) the name, city, state/province and country of the manufacturer.
Text Formatting. For papers prepared on a word processor, note the following guidelines: (1) Use plain text with no special formatting. (2) Do not justify the right margin. (3) Use bold print, italics and underlining sparingly. (4) Use a single, standard typeface of letter quality.
