Journal of the Canadian Dental Association

History

Published dental literature in Canada was first produced by W.H. Elliot (Montreal), who published 18 papers in the American Dental Journal starting in 1842. In the 1850s there were several attempts to create a Canadian dental journal (the Family Dentist from Brockville and Journal of the Times from Halifax) but none lasted very long.

In 1868, William George Beers (Montreal) published the Canadian Journal of Dental Science. Beers later moved to Hamilton, Ontario where he recruited Curtis Chittenden (a founder of the Ontario Dental Association) as an associate editor. The journal struggled and eventually failed in 1879.

Beers returned to Montreal where in 1889 he launched the Dominion Dental Journal 10 years after the failure of his previous journal. [1] This became Canada's preeminent dental journal and persisted for more than 46 years. In 1935, it was absorbed by the newly created Journal of the Canadian Dental Association and joined with La Revue dentaire canadienne, a French language dental journal that had been founded in 1915 under the editorship of Honoré Thibault. [2] The journal has been published since that time in both English and French.

The modern journal

The modern journal has transformed into a network of knowledge delivery vehicles. The printed journal still exists but it is only one piece of a system that includes the JCDA.ca website, the JCDA Clinical Q&A blogs, and the JCDA Oasis mobile platform. The printed journal is distributed to all dentists and dental students in Canada as well some colleagues outside of Canada. [3]

JCDA Oasis

JCDA Oasis was launched in 2011 to create an area for collaboratively edited content, in the Web 2.0 spirit, where rapid publication, dissemination and open dialogue between contributors and readers are pillars of process. JCDA involves organizations (e.g. Organization for Safety, Asepsis and Prevention), industry partners and dentists (e.g. Coronation Dental Specialty Group) to create content then it is opened to discussion with readers. There are three core sections:
