Submission of manuscripts
Only original articles are accepted for publication.
Submitting manuscripts to the
CANADIAN JOURNAL OF CRIMINOLOGY AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE implies authors' commitment to publish in the JOURNAL. Authors must certify in writing that neither the article submitted nor a version of it has been published, nor is being considered for publication elsewhere; such certification must accompany the manuscript. Authors thereby agree to transfer their copyright to the publisher of the JOURNAL.
N.B.: Manuscripts which do not adhere to requirements set out below will be returned for revision. Only articles which meet the requirements will be sent out to assessors. Focus The JOURNAL is a peer-reviewed forum for original contributions and discussion in the field of criminology and criminal justice. It is concerned with the theoretical and scientific aspects of the study of crime and with the practical problems of law enforcement, administration of justice and the treatment of the offender. Preference is given to articles with Canadian content and to those related in some way to a Canadian project, institution, practice, etc.
Language Articles written in either English or French are published by the JOURNAL. The Abstracts of articles are published in English and French. Abstracts which are submitted in only one language will be translated by the JOURNAL.
Style Texts should be clear and concise and should have been reviewed to preclude the necessity of correcting spelling or other editing. Use of italics and quotation marks for emphasis is discouraged. Short and meaningful subheadings should be used to break up long texts.
Anonymity Authors are asked to keep identifying material out of the manuscript. They should make every effort to avoid giving clues as to the author's identity. A cover page, giving authorship, institutional affiliation, acknowledgements, and the date of submission of the article, should be included in a separate file. In the file containing the remainder of the manuscript and abstract, only the title should appear.
References which are likely to suggest the identity of the author (e.g., to unpublished work by the author) should be avoided. If they are included, they should be cited in the body of the text as "Identifying reference [number]", and listed on a separate page in the file containing the cover page and other identifying information - not in the appended list of References. Upon acceptance of the article for publication, the author will be required to provide a revised version of the text in which identifying references have been integrated into the text and the References appendix (see below).
Authors are cautioned that word processing software as MS Word automatically attaches identifying information such as the author's name and institutional affiliation to every file created or revised; e.g., in the Properties area of the file. Authors should remove such information before submitting files to the JOURNAL.
Manuscripts The JOURNAL publishes regular articles, research notes, commentary, and book reviews. Regular articles are normally 20-30 typed pages long (5,000 - 7,500 words), exclusive of tables, figures and references. Research notes and commentary are normally considerably shorter than regular articles.
The instructions for authors of book reviews are available separately on the JOURNAL's
web site, or at
www.utpjournals.com , and are also available from the Secretariat, at the address given below.
Manuscripts should be submitted as files prepared in MS Word. Files prepared in Wordperfect or plain text are also accepted. Electronic submission
as attachment to an e-mail addressed to
ccja@bellnet.ca is preferred. Manuscripts may also be submitted by regular mail, in
one hard copy of the document and a diskette containing the files, to Canadian Journal of Criminology and Criminal Justice, 1750 Courtwood Crescent, #308, Ottawa, ON K2C 2B5. The author should also keep a copy to guard against loss. The JOURNAL will acknowledge receipt of the manuscript and eventually communicate the decision of the Editorial Committee. No manuscript will be returned to the authors, once the process of assessment has been started.
Texts should be formatted for 8?x 11" (21.5 x 28 cm) paper, double spaced, with 1" (2.54 cm) margins on both sides of the page. An abstract of 200 words or less should precede the body of the text, on a separate page.
Tables and illustrations Tables should be prepared in Word (
not Excel) using the Tables function( i.e., not created manually using drawn lines, tabs or spaces). They should be numbered consecutively throughout the article and included on separate page at the end of the manuscript. Insert a location note at the appropriate place in the text, e.g., "Table 2 about here". Each table must include a descriptive title and headings to columns. Gather general footnotes to tables as "Note: " or "Notes: ", and use a, b, c, etc., for specific footnotes. Table footnotes are appended
only to a specific table. Asterisks * and/or ** indicate significance at the 5 percent and 1 percent levels, respectively.
Illustrations should be submitted on separate pages, following the Tables, with clear and complete legends and with indications of the preferred location in the text; e.g., "Figure 2 about here".
Upon acceptance of the article for publication, authors will be required to provide tables and illustrations in a form suitable for typesetting. Tables should then be put into a Word file which is separate from the file containing the text of the article (one file for all tables). Illustrations should be provided without their captions, either in high-quality hard copy (e.g., a glossy photograph, preferably black and white) or as a high-resolution graphics file (one file per illustration). A separate Word file should contain the captions for all the illustrations. TIFF and EPS are the preferred graphics file formats; high-resolution JPEG is also accepted. For charts and line drawings (but not photographs), PDF or Excel files are also accepted; each chart must be in a separate file.
Producing tables, graphs, and illustrations is costly and authors are asked to minimize their use without sacrificing clarity.
Footnotes and Endnotes Acknowledgements should be put in a footnote to the title, on the cover page, in the file containing identifying information. All other notes should be in the form of endnotes. The footnotes and endnotes should be prepared using the Footnote function of Word (i.e., not created manually), and should be numbered consecutively throughout the article with superscript Arabic numerals.
The use of content endnotes in which authors
explain and
amplify their texts is discouraged. Providing long and complicated material in endnotes is distracting and expensive; authors should include important information in the text and omit irrelevant information. Authors may include a short endnote stating that the lengthy material is available from the authors, or may add an appendix. If an appendix is used, the reference in the text should read, for example: "(See Appendix A for complete information)". If, after an endnote occurs, it is later mentioned, use a parenthetical note "(see note 3)", rather than the superscript number.
References References should be listed alphabetically by author's name in an appendix at the end of the text.
1. In the text: All source references are to be identified at the appropriate point in the text by the last name of the author, year of publication, and pagination where needed. Identify subsequent citations of the same source in the same way as the first. Examples follow:
