Cleft Palate Craniofacial Journal (CPCJ)

The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal is an established international, peer-reviewed medical journal dedicated to advancing scientific understanding and clinical care of cleft palate and related craniofacial anomalies. First published in 1964 as The Cleft Palate Journal, it expanded its scope beyond cleft conditions and adopted its current title in 1991 to reflect a broader emphasis on craniofacial research. The journal is published by SAGE Publishing in association with the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association (ACPA), and it serves as the official scholarly organ of the ACPA. Issued approximately ten to twelve times per year, the journal features original research articles, systematic reviews, clinical case studies, and multidisciplinary investigations that span basic science, clinical interventions, outcomes research, and health services aspects of craniofacial care. Its readership includes surgeons, orthodontists, speech-language pathologists, geneticists, pediatricians, and other specialists involved in both the research and treatment of craniofacial anomalies. The journal fosters evidence-based practice and collaboration across specialties, contributing to improved patient outcomes globally. Articles often focus on surgical protocols, speech development and intervention, growth and developmental biology, genetic etiologies, psychosocial and quality-of-life outcomes, and team-based care models. With a robust peer-review process and international editorial board, The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal remains a core resource for clinicians and researchers dedicated to craniofacial health.
