Author Guidelines
Authors are invited to submit scholarly manuscripts of relevance to higher education in Canada. The editors will inform you if your article does not appear to be within the scope of the journal.
Your article should follow these guidelines:
1. The journal uses American Psychological Association (APA) bibliographic and formatting standards. While we will accept articles written using another citation and formatting manual, you will need to reformat it prior to publication.
2. When signing up as an author, ensure you include your name, telephone number, email address, academic institution, position (faculty or student), a brief biography and a brief synopsis of the article. PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE THIS INFORMATION IN THE BODY OF YOUR ARTICLE! We use a blind peer-review system. So, when you submit your docuement, PLEASE ENSURE YOU DO NOT INCLUDE A TITLE PAGE OR YOUR NAME IN THE HEADER OR FOOTER!!!
3. Please include the title of the article and page number on each subsequent page, but do NOT include your name anywhere in the body of the article.
4. Please use standard word processing software (preferably MS Word). Do not send pdf files or hard copies.
5. If you are including supplementary files (figures, tables, graphs, illustrations, etc.) please include them in a separate file rather than within the body of your manuscript text.
6. We will acknowledge receipt of all articles submitted to us. If you have not received an acknowledgement within 10 days of sending your article, please contact us.
Submission Preparation Checklist
As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
- The submission has not been previously published nor is it before another journal for consideration; or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor.
- The submission file is written using standard word processing software (ideally Microsoft Word). The file DOES NOT contain the author's name, biography or contact information, and this information has been removed from the file's "Properties" section (in MS Word, under "File").
- All URL addresses in the text (e.g., http://pkp.ubc.ca) are activated and ready to click.
- The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); with supplementary files (figures, tables, etc.) clearly numbered and separate from the main text.
- The text meets this journal's formatting requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines found in About the Journal. If the journal section is peer reviewed, author identification has been removed, and "Author" and year have been used in the bibliography and footnotes, instead of authors' names, titles, etc. THE AUTHOR'S NAME HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE 'PROPERTIES' OF THE DOCUMENT, NO TITLE PAGE IS INCLUDED, AND THE AUTHOR'S NAME OR INFORMATION IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE HEADER OR FOOTER OF THE PAPER.
