"We are very pleased that we've been able to find 2 highly respected editors to move the journal forward over the next few months until we find an editor," said CMA President Dr. Ruth Collins-Nakai.
Also on Mar. 7, CMA and CMAH announced that the Rt. Honourable Antonio Lamer, a former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, will head a Governance Review Panel that will study the relationship between CMAJ and CMA and develop principles to govern that relationship. The journal's Ombudsman-Ethicist, Dr. John Dossetor, will be vice-chair of the panel, which will report back within 90 days of its first meeting.
With the announcements, CMA and CMAH also released a 9-point interim governance plan for the journal.
The CMAJ Editorial Board has protested some of these changes.
"As an editorial board we are concerned about the scientific integrity of the journal, and we are worried that the 6 changes announced yesterday to the governance principles are all contrary to editorial independence," said CMAJ board member Dr. Donald Redelmeier.
Collins-Nakai said the panel process will be "transparent and fair." She added: "We've asked for input from the editorial board and CMAJ staff on the make-up of the panel and even the governing principles."(Barbara Sibbald)
