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 in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.

Author Guidelines

Use Canadian English Spelling (see https://our-languages.canada.ca/en/blogue-blog/english-spelling-differences-eng for if you are unsure)

Use MLA Style for text, in-text citations, and works cited.

If including images, provide copies in a separate zipped “assets” folder. Ensure images sufficiently high resolution for digital publication (300 DPI is sufficient).

Use your word processor’s “Styles” tool to mark your title, headings (Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3), quotations, code, captions, body text, etc. This allows our team to quickly apply in house styling.

Acronyms

All acronyms should be spelled out in full upon their first use only followed by initials noted in parentheses, as exemplified below.

Example: Interdisciplinary Engagement in Arts & Humanities (IDEAH)

Spelling

Submissions should abide by Canadian English Spelling Differences.

Oxford Comma

  • Use of the Oxford comma, which dictates the formatting of lists within sentences

Example: This comma convention is known as the Oxford comma, the serial comma, or the Harvard comma.

Hanging apostrophe

  • Use of the hanging apostrophe for possessives ending in “s”

Example: Digital Humanities’

Hyphen, en dash, em dash

  • Hyphen (-): Use -
  • En dash: use – or --
  • Em dash: use — or ---

Lists

Lists that do not need to define hierarchy or order of value, should use bullet points. If the list requires a specific sequence, it should appear numbered. Lists should be used sparingly to maximize their impact.
