Starting immediately, manuscripts submitted to The Journal of the American Dental Association should be sent to the Publishing Divisions office at ADA headquarters in Chicago.
Until now, JADA manuscripts have been managed out of the Philadelphia offices of JADA Editor Marjorie K. Jeffcoat, who will pass the reins to a new editor at the end of 2004. Transferring manuscript handling to Chicago is meant to facilitate a smooth transition for a new editor, once he or she is chosen. Dr. Jeffcoat will continue to oversee manuscript processing and peer review until her successor is named by the end of this year.
All questions about manuscript submission and review should be directed to Dr. Jeffcoat at this address:
