I found the process of going through submission, review, editing, and publication to be quite easy. Everything was handled professionally and competently. The quality of the reviews were as good as any I have experienced in 30 years of publishing in scientific journals.Professor Bonnie Kaplan (Departments of Paediatrics and Community Health Sciences, University of Calgary) What our authors say
