Submitted articles may be edited for clarity and consistency by the CHPCA editorial team, or by external reviewers as needed for expertise or capacity. The CHPCA editorial team may elect to translate a guest article on a case-by-case basis.

Guest articles should:

• Either be original content not published elsewhere OR, published elsewhere under a Creative Commons license (or with equivalent permissions) allowing reproduction of the content.
• Have positive intent
• Use plain-language and the active voice wherever possible

• Always appropriately cite, quote, and provide attribution to external sources referenced in the article.

Content Requirements:

• Length: 500 – 1500 words

  For sources not available online, include endnotes using the APA citation style.

  • Important note: Photos or images included in the Word document containing the article will not be used. Photos or images must be uploaded individually and separately in the submission form.
• Author information: Include the name, position, and relevant organization of every author.
