Submissions

CMAJ Blogs welcomes your submissions

We consider clearly-expressed opinion pieces on public health and health care topics, written by health care workers or managers, patients and caregivers. Writing should be clear, crisp and engaging.

Submissions of around 700-800 words presented in an editable format can be emailed to blogs@cmaj.ca

Not all submissions will be published. Decisions to publish are influenced by the importance of the topic, the uniqueness of the opinion and the quality of the writing and cannot be appealed.

Blogs are edited and posted by CMAJ Blogs staff.

Authors are asked to supply a photograph of themselves to accompany their blog and must sign a publication agreement before the blog can be posted.

 

Guidelines for submission to the Student Humanities Category

CMAJ Blogs’ Student Humanities category seeks high-quality, original submissions from medical students, that may include poetry, essays, critiques, reviews (of films, novels, theatre, exhibitions etc.), interviews, reflections, graphic medicine and visual art related to the medical humanities.

• Both French and English submissions are welcome.
• Written submissions must be double-spaced in an MS Word document and no longer than 1000 words. Poetry must not exceed 52 lines.
• Visual materials should be at least 300 DPI, and in a widely used format, such as PDF or JPEG.
• Any patient depicted in your work could self-identify, and therefore written consent to publication must be acquired from patients. Consent forms are available from the editor.

To submit a blog for the Student Humanities category, or for more information, contact: editor.cmajhumanitiesblog@gmail.com
