ABOUT US

Since its inception in 1994, The Canadian Journal of Clinical Pharmacology has filled an important gap in therapeutics research in Canada. For ten years, the success of CJCP was the result of the significant vision and efforts of the founding editor, Dr. Neil Shear, and the original publisher Mr. Robert Kalina of Pulsus Inc. of Burlington, Ontario.


In April 2004, The Canadian Journal of Clinical Pharmacology was innovative in becoming one of the first peer review, Medline indexed scientific journal in the field of therapeutics to be published on the Internet and available at no charge to the readers. This change reflected a vision and philosophy of the Canadian Society for Clinical Pharmacology that original information on rational therapeutics needs to be accessible to all health professionals prescribing or administering medications, as well as for all other stakeholders, including patients and families.


In the fall of 2007, another transformation took place. The Journal of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome International was amalgamated with the Canadian Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, adding to the journal the large membership of Fetal Alcohol Canadian Expertise (FACE). This Journal, under the leadership of Dr. Gideon Koren, is now entitled Fetal Alcohol Research within the Canadian Journal of Clinical Pharmacology.


An administrative change took place in 2008. The Canadian Society for Clinical Pharmacology, the association that had been publishing the CJCP, merged with the Pharmacological Society of Canada to form the Canadian Society of Pharmacology and Therapeutics. This new society will now be responsible for publishing CJCP.

In 2010 the journal changed its name to the Journal of Population Therapeutics and Clinical Pharmacology. This change reflected the international sphere of the authors submitting publications to the journal and as well, the broad scope of topics covered in the journal. In addition to publishing articles in the field of clinical pharmacology the journal has embraced articles related to pharmacoepidemiology, pharmacoeconomics and drug policy, hence 'population therapeutics'.
