Not familiar with CJAS? Below is what you need to know.

CJAS only publishes Canadian based research. FALSE. CJAS publishes research from all over the world. Studies report data from any number of countries and, although we do welcome and publish Canadian based findings, research is in no way limited to Canada.

Does CJAS consider case studies? Not normally. CJAS does not typically publish case studies unless there is considerable value added in terms of underscoring the applicability/non-applicability of a theory/framework in a unique circumstance/situation, which tests or expands the boundary conditions of that theory/framework.

CJAS considers both French and English submissions. TRUE. Please contact the Managing Editor for information on our French publication policy.
