Media

CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) posts new content online every Monday at 12:01 am (ET) and also publishes 12 print issues a year. Accredited journalists can register to receive pre-embargo access to CMAJ content prior to publication. Journalists must agree to respect CMAJ’s embargo policy outlined below and are asked to credit the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) as the source when reporting on an article. 

To register to receive media releases by email, contact:

Kim Barnhardt
Senior Strategist, Communications and Partnerships, CMAJ
1410 Blair Towers Place, Suite 500
Ottawa ON K1J 9B9
kim.barnhardt@cmaj.ca

Media releases can be viewed on the EurekAlert web site, which is run by the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

CMAJ's Embargo Policy

CMAJ issues embargoed weekly news releases to the media, with occasional same-day releases. This information, including an emailed news release and PDFs of articles, is distributed electronically on a Tuesday the week prior to the online publication date.

Media receive advance copies of papers under embargo with the understanding that individuals or media outlets cannot disseminate the information externally.

Reporters who provide email confirmation that they agree to respect CMAJ embargoes will be added to CMAJ’s media list to receive news releases.

The embargo is in effect from the date of issue, generally a Tuesday, until 12:01 am ET on the Monday of publication date. We do this to give reporters time to write a thorough article on complex medical and health-related topics.

Example: An article and news release are issued under embargo Tuesday, September 16. Reporters may speak to the author during that period but cannot publish or air the news item until the embargo is lifted on September 22 at 12:01 am ET.

Sometimes, CMAJ may issue an article(s) with a shorter embargo period or as an immediate release without embargo; this would be clearly marked in the early release email.

If an embargo is broken by a media outlet, CMAJ will investigate the circumstances and take appropriate action.
