The mission of The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal is to publish information of the highest scientific quality regarding cleft palate and other craniofacial anomalies in order to advance the global education of scientists and clinicians.

The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal (CPCJ), a bi-monthly international journal on craniofacial anomalies, is the official publication of the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association (ACPA).

Members of ACPA receive a subscription to the CPCJ as part of their member benefits.

Subscribers have access to all online content including current and past issues back to 1990. ACPA members can utilize the robust online search tools, save favorite articles and set up publishing alerts to leverage the CPCJ subscription toward a powerful and useful tool in their practice and research. Best of all, CPCJ subscription through ACPA membership saves significantly compared to direct subscription (while coming with the additional value of the other !).

The CPCJ now employs a double-blinded submission and review process. Detailed instructions on new manuscript preparation requirements can be viewed by clicking on Manuscript Preparation under the CPCJ home page Information tab.
