Editorial Board

All articles published in Canadian IBD Today are peer-reviewed by at least two members of the Editorial Board in a single-anonymized process. This means that while the reviewers will know who the author is, the reviewers' comments will be anonymized and the author will not know who the reviwers are before publication.

The editorial team reviews all submitted manuscripts for alignment with Canadian IBD Today's aims and scope as well as its publication criteria. Articles must fully comply with the journal's ethical policies to be considered for publication.

Canadian IBD Today welcomes submissions from members of the Canadian medical community. The editorial team may on occasion solicit manuscripts from authors on specific topics of interest, in line with the editorial direction of a given issue.

Members of the Editorial Board assist in determining the direction of the journal and will evaluate the scientific content and quality of all manuscripts in a single-anonymized peer review process.
