Announcing the launch of the Canadian Journal of Wound, Ostomy, and Continence (CJWOC)!

Starting with its Spring 2025 Issue, the CJWOC will be 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 level of research that raises the standard of our wound, ostomy and continence specialty in Canada. 

The Canadian Journal of Wound, Ostomy, and Continence (CJWOC) will be published three times per year—in Spring, Fall, and Winter—and is available in both digital and print formats. The journal is indexed in CINAHL and EBSCOhost through EBSCO Publishing, as well as in Cengage Learning/Gale, ensuring wide accessibility for healthcare professionals and researchers.

NSWOCC Members can access the first issue!
