Overview

The International Journal of Canadian Studies (IJCS) is published twice a year by the International Council for Canadian Studies. Multidisciplinary in scope, the IJCS is intended for people around the world who are interested in the study of Canada.

The IJCS publishes thematic issues containing articles (20-30 pages double-spaced), research notes (10-15 pages double-spaced) and review essays. It favours analyses that have a broad perspective and essays that will interest a readership from a wide variety of disciplines. Articles must deal with Canada, not excluding comparisons between Canada and other countries. The IJCS is a bilingual journal. Authors may submit articles in either English or French.

Individuals interested in contributing to the IJCS should forward their papers to the IJCS Secretariat, along with a one-hundred word abstract. Beyond papers dealing directly with the themes of forthcoming issues, the IJCS will also examine papers not related to these themes for possible inclusion in its regular Open Topic section. All submissions are peer-reviewed; the final decision regarding publication is made by the Editorial Board. The content of articles, research notes and review essays is the sole responsibility of the author.

The IJCS is indexed and/or abstracted in America: History and Life; Canadian Periodical Index; Historical Abstracts; International Political Science Abstracts; and Point de repère.

The IJCS gratefully acknowledges a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.

Jean-Michel Lacroix Award for the Best IJCS Article

The objective of the Jean-Michel Lacroix Award is to showcase and disseminate an exceptional paper within the international community of Canadianists and in Canadian universities.

This award will be presented every two years beginning in 2010. The first selection will be made from articles published in 2008 and 2009. The selection will take place during the editorial board’s winter meeting. The winner will be announced in May at the ICCS meeting of the board of directors.

The selection for the 2010 Jean-Michel Lacroix Award will be made by the editorial board of the IJCS.

The following are some of the selection criteria:

Significant contribution to Canadian Studies.
Contribution to enhanced understanding and knowledge of Canada.
Quality of content, methodology, and analyses.
Multidisciplinary approach.

The Board will be attentive to various elements of representativeness notably those of religion, language, discipline, and genre.

Selection process:

The editor-in-chief will identify 10 articles in contention for the award.
Each member of the editorial board will choose 3 articles among the list of 10 and speak to the merits and validity of their choices at the meeting.
A consensus will be reached in choosing the winner.

Open-topic section (Submissions accepted anytime)

Call for Open Topic Articles

The Editorial Board of the IJCS has decided to broaden the format of the Journal. While each future issue of the IJCS will include a set of articles addressing a given theme, as in the past, it will also include several articles that do not do so. Beyond heightening the general interest of each issue, this change should also facilitate participation in the Journal by the international community of Canadianists.

Accordingly, the Editorial Board welcomes manuscripts on any topic in the study of Canada. As in the past, all submissions must undergo peer review. Final decisions regarding publication are made by the Editorial Board. Often, accepted articles need to undergo some revision. The IJCS undertakes that upon receiving a satisfactorily revised version of a submission that it has accepted for publication, it will make every effort to ensure that the article appears in the next regular issue of the Journal.
