Submit a Manuscript to CJDH

Beginning in January 2024, manuscripts must be submitted to the Canadian Journal of Dental Hygiene (CJDH) via ScholarOne ManuscriptsTM, an easy-to-use online platform.

To submit your manuscript, you will need the following files:

  • A title page listing the full name and details of the corresponding author and the full names of all other authors
  • A main document file, including the abstract, keywords, main text, references, and appendices. No author details should appear in this main file.
  • Figure files
  • Table files
  • Supplementary files

ScholarOne will convert your manuscript to PDF for peer review. It accepts most common word processing formats for text and tables, although the system prefers Microsoft Word, and images should be submitted as GIF, TIFF, EPS, or JPEG files.

Supplementary files (for example: videos, datasets, research protocols, questionnaires, and checklists or statements) are not converted to PDF but are available to reviewers or editors exactly as you upload them.

Before submitting a manuscript to the Canadian Journal of Dental Hygiene, remember to review the journal’s Guidelines for Authors, Ethics Policy, and Policy on the Responsible Use of Generative AI to ensure the manuscript and the research it presents adhere to the journal’s standards.
