Submissions

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

• In early Fall 2024, De Gruyter agreed to acquire NHP Publications and the Journal of Natural Health Product Research (JNHPR). The journal will be assumed under the Journal of Complementary and Integrative Medicine (JCIM), which has a long history of engagement with Canadian research and editorial team members, as well as a strong reputation for publishing high-quality work in this space. The journal is peer-reviewed and indexed with many of the major databases (e.g., EMBASE, EBSCO, Google Scholar Medline, CINAHL, SCOPUS, etc.). Thus, as of September 2024, no further submissions will be accepted by the JNHPR, and instead, all prospective submitting authors are invited to consider submitting their research to the JCIM.
  
  
  All submissions must meet the following requirements.

  
  
  
  
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  
  
  • The correct template has been downloaded and the completed submission (i.e. manuscript, conference book, or conference abstract) adheres to the guidelines as outlined under the respective "Author Guidelines" tab. The submission file is in Microsoft Word or RTF document file format.
