Abstract The Ontario Association on Developmental Disabilities (OADD) has published the Journal on Developmental Disabilities (JoDD) since 1992. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the JoDD by conducting a readership survey. PhpESP (Easy survey package) was used to design, create, and deploy a web-based survey to staff working at Surrey Place Centre; OADD board members; authors who published manuscripts in JoDD; members of the OADD Research Special Interest Group; and, to general members of OADD. Eighty-seven of 667 questionnaires were received, giving a response rate of 13.0%. The results indicated that OADD members are regular readers of JoDD; the majority of the readers read JoDD on-line; the content of the JoDD is appropriate; the quality and format of JoDD are acceptable; and, manuscript submission and processing usually are being carried out efficiently. Nevertheless, there are some areas of the JoDD that could be improved. download article >>
