English-language manuscripts — Catherine Evans, University of Toronto; Amy Swiffen, Concordia University.
Innovation and Development — Melanie Adrian, Carleton University; Joao Velloso, University of Ottawa.
Managing Editor — William Hébert, Carleton University.
English Book Review Editor — Sara Ross, Dalhousie University.
French Book Review Editor — Pascale Cornut St-Pierre, Université d’Ottawa.
Editorial Assistants — Justine Monette-Tremblay (Senior Editorial Assistant), Jessica Chapman (Editorial Assistant).
Prepare the right enquiry
For an article, first select the manuscript’s language and consult the journal’s submission instructions. For a book review, identify the language and publication to be discussed. A proposal about journal development is a different task from a submission. Use the publisher’s current route rather than contacting a former editor.
Practical example
A researcher preparing a French-language article would first consult the French manuscript instructions and the French editorial role. A researcher offering an English book review should identify Sara Ross’s book-review role and consult current review instructions. These routes establish editorial responsibility, not acceptance or a guarantee of review.
