Celebrating 10 years of open access

Highlighting the key milestones and achievements in Allergy, Asthma and Clinical Immunology, this timeline takes a journey of the past 10 open access years.

From the most mentioned research article to the latest practical guides in allergy and immunology in Canada, this infographic celebrates the impact of the journal's content from 2009-2019. With nearly 6,000 online mentions, and a monthly average of 70,000 accesses and downloads, AACI continues to be a high-visibility forum for new insights and discussions within the allergy and clinical immunology research community for the next 10 years and beyond.

About the CSACI

AACI is the official journal of the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (CSACI). The CSACI is the largest national professional medical specialty organization in Canada representing allergists, asthma specialists, clinical immunologists, allied health professionals and others with a special interest in the research and treatment of allergic diseases.

The CSACI was founded in 1945 to fulfill the following goals: improving the standards of teaching and the practice of allergy and clinical immunology; fostering co-operation between those engaged in the study and practice of allergy and clinical immunology; encourage research in the field of allergy and clinical immunology.

The CSACI represents over 475 (Canadian and international) members who are from all parts of the country including rural areas, cities, community hospitals and academic university teaching centres. The CSACI remains committed to supporting allergists and clinical immunologists in maintaining the pre-eminence of both research and education in Canada. Moving forward, the CSACI will support these aims to ensure that high quality health care is available to all our patients throughout our communities.
