Scope
Mission: To champion knowledge that matters for the health of Canadians and the rest of the world. CMAJ aims to foster excellence in the science and art of medicine and promote the health and well-being of the Canadian public. CMAJ is a peer-reviewed general medical journal that publishes original clinical research, commentaries, analyses, and reviews of clinical topics, health news, clinical practice updates and thought-provoking editorials. CMAJ has had substantial impact on health care and the practice of medicine in Canada and around the world. CMAJ has four areas of focus — mental health, health of vulnerable populations, health services and sepsis. As a general medical journal, CMAJ will continue to publish content on a wide variety of topics. However, these specific topic areas will guide content and submissions, contribute to the evidence base, influence clinical practice and raise awareness among policy-makers and the public of these pressing health issues.
