Be Part of Asia’s Exciting New Dental Journal
The esteemed Editorial Advisory Board of the Dental Resource Asia (DRA) Journal extends an invitation to submit clinical articles pertaining to the field of Dentistry.
As an open-access, multi-language online platform, DRA is dedicated to promoting Asian dentistry and enriching dental teams across the Asia Pacific region.
Perhaps for the first time, and thanks to today’s sophisticated AI technology, we are able to present a truly Asian publication that is purposed to be read in a variety of languages, reflecting DRA’s multi-ethnic and linguistic readership.
The DRA Journal, launching in June 2023, will provide readers with a wealth of resources on dentistry-related subjects, including continuing education, professional development, practice building, technology, and products.
Our focus is on the clinical and operational issues faced by Asian dentists and oral healthcare professionals operating within and beyond Asia, as well as those of domestic and foreign companies operating in the region.
By submitting your article to the DRA Journal, you will benefit from our open access publishing policy, high visibility, a rigorous peer review process, publication upon acceptance and retention of the copyright to your article.
Please note that all open-source article submissions and contributions are voluntary and unpaid.
On behalf of the Editorial Advisory Board, we look forward to receiving your submission.
