The College Quarterly (CQ) is an independent, digital-based journal of research and dialogue published by Seneca College. It is directed primarily to college educators, and others interested in post-secondary college education relevant to the Canadian context, college educators in North America and worldwide.
The CQ fills an urgent need and a continuing gap as there currently exists no other academic journal that addresses issues specific to the Canadian colleges. The journal publishes both peer-reviewed and editor-only-reviewed articles; peer-reviewed articles are clearly identified as such.
Work most likely to be published will address one or more of the following themes as they relate to education and Canadian colleges:
The content will report scholarly research or present scholarly discussions related to the themes identified above and approximately 3,000 to 4,000 words in length.
Submissions must be original manuscripts in the APA style and in electronic format with as little formatting as possible. We would prefer not to receive printed text manuscripts.
All submissions must be accompanied by an abstract of no more than 100 words, and a brief byline about the author(s) and e-mail contact information for the principal author.
The content of manuscripts accepted for publication, including titles, text, tables, diagrams and graphics, is subject, without consultation with the author(s), to such reformatting and modification as is deemed necessary for publication and to those minor editorial changes which, in the Editors’ judgment, do not substantially alter the intent of the original manuscript.
The copyright for all content published in the CQ belongs to The College Quarterly, Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology, Toronto, Ontario. Authors will be asked to sign a Copyright Release Form before an approved article is published.
Authors are required to submit work as a MS Word or Rich Text Format, formatted using APA style, as an email attachement sent to college.quarterly@senecacollege .ca
Manuscripts may be submitted at any time. You will receive a response within 2 business days, acknowledging the receipt of your submission and any next steps and any questions or concerns we may have. Manuscripts submitted for peer review will be blinded and reviewed by a panel of experts in the relevant field. It may take up to three months for a peer review to be completed. General interest articles accepted for publication may be published in the next edition of the CQ or held for later publication as appropriate.
All correspondence should be addressed to Camille Soucie and Valerie Lopes, Senior Editors, College Quarterly, by email at college.quarterly@senecacollege.ca.
