Parker University Launches Journal of Contemporary Chiropractic

Dana Lawrence, DC, MMedEd, MA, Parker University Associate Provost of Education and Research and JCC Editor sends out call for papers.

May 18, 2018 – Parker University has launched the Journal of Contemporary Chiropractic to facilitate the need for more access to scientific publications throughout the chiropractic profession. Parker believes so strongly in the value of the journal that costs are subsidized by the university in an “open-access” format. Open-access publication allows the greatest opportunity for dissemination of information to those interested, at no cost. Further, authors will be able to immediately publish papers upon acceptance, approval, and editing.

Dana Lawrence states, “I am pleased to announce a new journal serving chiropractic and integrative health professions. Our journal provides high-quality, scientific and educational research and information that will help enhance the practice and delivery of integrative health care.”

The journal’s mission is to provide high-quality, scientific and educational research and information that helps enhance the practice and delivery of integrative health care. Emphasis will be placed on gaining the best information covering the scientific basis, clinical practice, educational practice, and sociological and political aspects of chiropractic.

“Parker University’s commitment to chiropractic research, scholarly activity, and intellectual dialog is exemplified in the creation of this new scientific journal. There was a need for a journal that focused on chiropractic with an emphasis on modern thought, science, and research. Having Dana Lawrence, DC, as the editor ensures that the highest standards in peer-reviewed content will be maintained. Parker is proud to create and sponsor this journal,” adds Bill Morgan, DC, Parker University President.
