CHICAGO and NEW YORK, June 24, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Dental Association (ADA) announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Elsevier to publish The Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA), the ADA's flagship publication and the nation's premier dental journal.
