Editorial Process

Submissions to the journal are open to academics, researchers, and practitioners. Pre-submission inquiries to the Editor in Chief are welcomed, but not required.

When a paper is submitted, the Editor in Chief conducts the initial submission review to determine whether to proceed with a peer review. This review considers the overall quality of the article and the relevance and importance of the article's contribution to the journal readership (both practitioners and researchers; both within and beyond Canada). Once approved for review, the Editor in Chief works with the Managing Editor to determine suitable reviewers based on the article type.

Peer Review

The full manuscript is reviewed by peers. Reviewers may decide to reject the manuscript, to ask the lead author to revise the manuscript based on accompanying comments, or to proceed directly to the final stage.
