Editorial Decisions
The Managing Editor determines the specific content of each issue of the CJRT, in consultation with the Editorial Board and CSRT Executive Director. The final decision to publish an article, whether solicited or not, is made only after the complete text has been received.
The Managing Editor reserves the right to reject material if its style or content is considered unsuitable for the journal or to postpone publication until a later date to accommodate the production process. The Managing Editor also reserves the right to make changes - to improve the clarity of the manuscript or to shorten, as necessary. Authors may be given the opportunity to approve editorial changes prior to publication, if time permits. The Managing Editor may make last-minute changes as necessary.

- All material (with the exception of advertisements) must have a direct link to respiratory therapy
- CJRT reserves the right to refuse to publish material that is deemed inappropriate for any reason.
- CJRT welcomes advertising, but can refuse to accept advertising at its discretion, based on content. Advertising rates are available upon request.
- All final materials submitted must be received by layout close. Missing the deadline might result in a publication delay or article may dropped from lineup. Production schedule is available but subject to change without notice.
