Canadian Journal of Wound, Ostomy and Continence Journal canadien en plaies, stomies et continence

About the Journal

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Canadian Journal of Wound, Ostomy and Continence (CJWOC)!

CJWOC is the official publication of Nurses Specialized in Wound, Ostomy and Continence Canada (NSWOCC). Replacing the NSWOC Advance, this peer-reviewed journal represents an important evolution toward a more scientific and academic-focused publication that reflects the high standards of our wound, ostomy and continence specialty in Canada. 

The CJWOC is published by NSWOCC three times per year in French and English—in Spring, Fall, and Winter—and is available in both digital and print formats. Manuscripts are submitted by both Canadian and international authors.

Opportunities to publish: First time authors welcome!
The CJWOC publishes peer-reviewed manuscripts on topics related to wound, ostomy and continence nursing practice. Submit your clinical article or case study now and share your research and experiences with colleagues across Canada.

Reach out to an Editorial Board representative for free writing and coaching support.
