Welcome to the Canadian Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences. We are pleased to announce that our first edition has just been released! Please go to "Journal Editions" in the main menu to read and review papers. Remember, any person registered with the CJHSS may provide a review of an online paper. We encourage all our readers to engage in the online review process.

The CJHSS is currently accepting papers on any subject within the domain of the humanities and social sciences. We are interested in both online review and peer review papers. Papers received and accepted after July 31, 2010 will be published in our second edition available in June 2011.

As a journal based upon the principles of open academic discourse, we encourage papers on any topic relating to the humanities and social sciences. Papers that challenge current wisdom, question assumptions, offer new perspectives, or introduce new methodological approaches are of special interest to the CJHSS. Online review papers will not be censored by the CJHSS for appropriateness to our audience, perceived intellectual legitimacy or popularity of subject. At the CJHSS we expect the academic community to judge the merits of a paper. For this reason, editorial restrictions on online review papers are kept to a minimum.

If you wish to submit a paper for peer review, your work will be reviewed in a traditional academic style. The editorial board will select three reviewers for your paper. Reviewers will assess appropriateness to the audience of the journal, interest value to the readers of the journal and methodological and logical merit. We aim to publish our first peer review edition of the CJHSS in September 2010.

For more information on the types of papers we publish at the CJHSS, please visit the "Authors Guide" page.
