With eCMAJ’s new eLetters service, the publication cycle for letters to the editor has been shortened from months to hours. Starting with the August 22, 2000, issue, eCMAJ visitors can submit an eLetter in response to any article published in the journal.

eLetters will be screened by a CMAJ editor; our aim is to post by the next business day correspondence that contributes significantly to the topic under discussion. eLetters will be appended to the article in question in eCMAJ and will also be considered for print publication in CMAJ.

To send an eLetter, click on the mailbox icon at the top right hand side of any eCMAJ article.
