Scholarly Submissions Guidelines
The Canadian Children's Rights Council accepts scholarly submissions from students, teachers and professors from Canadian private and public educational institutions, organizations and members of the public.
Submission Content
Scholarly submissions should contain information, analysis
or positions of interest to those examining or studying
children's rights issues, usually but not always, applicable
to issues in Canada.
Our website is promoted to policy advisors and politicians across Canada. We usually find it more productive to ask them to visit our website for our detailed positions rather than sending them hundreds of written pages. Websites may be updated or additions made for immediate review by policy makers. Our electronic website format is searchable and links provide cross references for visitors.
We encourage you to provide positive, well written positions that have either been peer reviewed or faculty reviewed and recommended.
We do not edit submissions. We either accept them as our volunteer editors' time permits or reject them. In either case, we will email you back our response, usually within 7 days. This is subject to availability of our volunteers' time.
Where to send submissions
Please send your submissions as an email attachment in Microsoft
Word format (.doc file) to:
corresp-(at)-CanadianCRC.com
( replace the "-(at)-" with an @ )
Enter "Scholarly Submission Request" in the email subject to expedite acceptance. Emails with other subjects sometimes get deleted by our spam prevention software by mistake. If you don't get back an email response within 7 days acknowledging your submission request, please send us another email.
Include the following information in your email for our records:
Your first and last name.
Your full address
Your phone number
Make sure that your submitted Microsoft Word document contains your name, position (ie. "student", "faculty member", "professor", "teacher" etc) and the educational institution name, if applicable.
Copyright
You retain the copyright. You should state that at the bottom
of your Microsoft Word document. If we accept your submission,
we will send you a PDF form for you to mail back to
us with your permission to publish the submission as content
on our website.
No Payment or Fee
There is no compensation to you and there is no charge to
you for publishing your submission.
Important
We reserve the right to delete any submissions from our
website at anytime without notice, explanation or the author's
involvement. We do not "revise" submissions. For details
relating to deletions of the entire and resubmissions, email
us.
Identity and Privacy Information Warning
Internet search engines are becoming more revealing and
inclusive of identity information. Authors should limit
information about themselves, their organizations, schools,
their own identity information on the Microsoft Word document
submission.
