Editorial

Abstract

This issue closes Volume 87 of the Canadian Journal of Optometry (CJO) and with it, a year of many changes. With a new publisher mid-year, we now have a new Managing Editor, Virginia St-Denis, and Associate Editor, Jessica Cyr, who are managing article submissions and peer review, editing accepted papers, and laying out each issue. The result is improved legibility of the text of the articles and increased accessibility for people with disabilities.
We will soon be migrating the CJO to a new web portal with the Public Knowledge Project at Simon Fraser University. Moving to the creators of our Online Journal System will increase the service level that we can provide, which is part of our long-term goal of making the CJO more accessible to a worldwide audience through search engines and indexing services. The benefit will be an enhanced profile for Canadian optometry as a unique branch of the profession.
Going forward, the editorial team hopes the CJO will attract more original research and clinical reports that will better inform your practice to the benefit of your patients.
