About the CJRT

The CJRT is a peer reviewed, open access journal, owned by the Canadian Society of Respiratory Therapists (CSRT), published by Canadian Science Publishing, and indexed in PMC (PubMed Central). The CJRT has been publishing continuously since 1965. We strive to publish manuscripts that describe effective interventions that increase access to and quality of clinical respiratory health interventions, including the organization and delivery of care in hospitals, the community, and throughout the continuum of care by health care providers. Our goal is to generate evidence and discussion to support more effective and equitable access to respiratory therapy and care for patients in Canada and around the world. While many of our contributors are respiratory therapists, we welcome submissions from all related health professionals and researchers.
