Author Guidelines

As a multidisciplinary journal, CJUR accepts submissions from all academic disciplines.

All authors must submit a Submission Form available on the CJUR website (https://cjur.ca/for-authors/) along with their manuscript. 

Articles submitted to CJUR cannot be previously published or accepted to an additional journal or book (print or electronic). By submitting an article to CJUR, the author must acknowledge that the material is neither currently under review nor has been published at another publication and that the material will not be submitted to another publication until the editorial board of CJUR has reached a decision.

Submissions based on coursework must discuss projects originally designed by the author(s), and the help of the instructors of the course for which it was originally intended must be acknowledged. The author must also confirm that the article has already received a grade upon submission.

If you have any concern regarding the eligibility of your article, please contact info@cjur.ca
