Submissions for No 1 CLOSED – Business as usual

Just a reminder that the JRC is no longer reading any new submissions for the first volume of our 27th edition. We will only begin considering submissions for No 2 of the edition in December 2016.

As for a status update, all authors who submitted to us for our CFP should have or will be receiving confirmation and a final status update in the following days. We have reviewed our submissions and – as is always the case – selected a number to proceed ahead for review. We aim to have our peer review completed by the beginning of November 2016.

If you receive a rejection notice regarding your submission, remember to not take it to heart and to keep submitting to other publications. Just because something is not right for the JRC does not mean it cannot have a home elsewhere.

All the best!

Call for papers for edition 27 EXTENDED – September 1st 2016

Hello readers, this is just a quick announcement informing everyone that our CFP for our Religion, Ideology and Violence edition 27 volume 1 has been extended to the 1st of September 2016. If you have not submitted yet, but were on the fence now is the perfect opportunity to send your work to us.

Therefore, September 2nd we will be closing the submission form in order to focus on reviewing your work.

Volume 26 Has Been Printed and Received

We’ve just received our copies of Volume 26 – Sexed Religion from the printers! Everyone has been a little swamped with the end of the Winter Semester and start of the Summer Semester, but stay tuned for our “much anticipated” launch event.

To all authors, reviewers and contributors: If you are based outside of Montreal, or will not be in Montreal this summer, and would like to have your copy mailed to you, please get in contact with us when you have a chance. We will also be getting in contact with everyone in the coming week.

Update: Publication Slate

We are in the final stages of editing our upcoming manuscript Sexed Religion. We are currently slated to launch by the end of this month, April 2016 – pending of course, on our printer.

We will be contacting all authors, reviewers and contributors the moment we have the publication back from the press.

In other news, we have also released our upcoming Call for Papers, focusing on Religion, Ideology and Violence. We are now open for submissions, and will begin the editorial process in August 2016.
