AAP Journals Roundup
2025 Annual Meeting
The AAP Journals team hosted several events in Toronto, including the third annual Peer Review Workshop, annual Editorial Board meeting, and meet-and-greets at the Member Resource Center (MRC). At the workshop, participants interacted with the Editors of Clinical Advances in Periodontics (CAP) and the Journal of Periodontology (JOP) and learned about the publication process, the guiding principles of peer review, and the article types published in both journals.
Various topics were discussed during the Editorial Board meeting including special journal issues, accomplishments to date, and plans for 2026. These plans will be shared in future updates in Periospectives. Meeting attendees also had opportunities to meet and chat with the Editors at the MRC. Finally, the editorial team presented their annual awards for Excellence in Peer Review. This year’s recipients – Dr. Anthony L. Neely (JOP) and Dr. Sejal R. Thacker (CAP) – were recognized at the Awards Ceremony for their outstanding performance as peer reviewers.
ORCID
Did you know that CAP and JOP require submitting authors to have an ORCID ID? ORCID IDs (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) are unique identifiers – like Social Security numbers – that help researchers and clinicians distinguish themselves and manage their scholarly contributions. More than 7,000 scholarly journals collect ORCID IDs from authors, and these IDs are often required by institutions and funders such as the National Institutes of Health. ORCID IDs can be obtained by anyone free of charge at https://info.orcid.org/researchers/. Once you have your ID, you can create a profile and link your research, publications, and funding to your profile. If you do any peer reviewing, you can also connect your peer review history to your ORCID profile. The Editors of JOP and CAP strongly encourage all authors, not just submitting authors, to obtain an ORCID. Additional information about ORCID is available at https://orcid.org/.
Reduced Open Access Fees for AAP Members
The Academy’s publisher, Wiley, offers discounted open access (OA) fees to AAP members. With open access, articles are immediately free to read, download, and share, which helps to disseminate research to an audience beyond journal subscribers. The fees that authors pay to make their articles open access are often covered by their institutions or funding agencies, but in cases where this support isn’t available, members can receive a discount for JOP and CAP. Further information is available on the JOP OA page and CAP OA page.
