CMAJ Open has a new Editor-in-Chief
Erin Russell has been appointed the new Editor-in-Chief for CMAJ Open, Canada's open-access online medical journal. Erin is an experienced medical editor who brings a wealth of knowledge from her work at CMAJ and CMAJ Open as an editor and through graduate studies in epidemiology and community medicine. She takes over from founding Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Diane Kelsall, who has helped grow CMAJ Open into an important venue for health and medical research research.
CMAJ Open publishes high-quality research from all medical and health disciplines, including the effects of climate change, gender and racism, Indigenous health issues, patient-oriented research and COVID-19. Founded in 2013, the journal has been committed to 4 founding principles: Open access; Open to research in all medical disciplines; Open to all types of research studies; and Open peer review. It is indexed in MEDLINE and PubMed Central. CMAJ Open values the involvement of patients who can be peer reviewers for the patient-oriented research collection.
Erin looks forward to collaborating with you — authors, reviewers, readers and others — on bringing knowledge from high-quality health research to clinicians, policy makers and the public in Canada and beyond.
