The Canadian Geriatrics Journal is an open access publication available on-line, and is published four times per year at cgjonline.ca.

The Canadian Geriatrics Journal is indexed in the EBSCO and ProQuest databases.

All manuscripts will be initially reviewed by the editor in chief, and if appropriate the paper will be assigned to an associate editor. If the paper is judged to be suitable for possible publication, it will be sent to two or more external reviewers. Authors may indicate the names of up to 3 potential referees as well as those whom they wish not to review the paper, but the editors reserve the right to make the final choice or reviewers.

Are you a member of the College of Family Physicians of Canada? Did you know that you can earn FIVE (free) Certified Mainpro+™ credits by reflecting on the journal articles and applying it to your practice or teaching activities?

Linking Learning to Practice (or Teaching, Administration, Research, or Assessment) is a self-administered, semi-structured reflection exercise, which provides you the opportunity to earn 5 Certified Mainpro+™ credits (fee-free)!

After reading an article, you complete a form online to reflect on issues or questions that arise in your practice related to the article and then take time to implement some sort of informed change in your practice. You may complete as many Linking Learning exercises as you like in a 5-year cycle.
