1 Submissions, in English or French, should be sent to the following address:

Theatre Research in Canada / Recherches théâtrales au Canada welcomes submissions that draw from a range of critical and historical approaches applied to the study of theatre and performance, in the context of the cultures of Canada and Quebec. For our (non-peer reviewed) Forum section we will consider position papers, commentary on issues of significance to the journal’s mandate, information about new and old projects, and research notes. We will also consider the publication of fully annotated documentary evidence, normally appended to articles.

2 All submissions are refereed through a peer-review assessment process (please see the following Submissions Response Schedule). Full articles should normally be no longer than 7,000 words, typed, double-spaced, following the internal editorial style found in the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing – 3rd Edition (New York: Modern Language Association, 2008). Please submit articles, along with an abstract and brief biographical note, via email attachment (in Word). Please employ an absolute minimum of document formatting in all electronic submissions (beyond the indentation of quotations and the use of endnotes). Endnotes are permitted (do not use footnotes), but should also be kept to a minimum. While TRIC/RTAC verifies notes, references, and quotations as staff time permits, accuracy in these areas remains the responsibility of the contributor and any errors may delay publication significantly.

3 All submissions (with the exception of book reviews and Forum essays) are blind reviewed by at least two scholars familiar with the content and/or methodology of the article. Once all peer reviews have been received the editor will compile a response to the author, including observations from the reviewers as well as from the editor. Articles so reviewed may be accepted for publication with minor editorial suggestions, accepted for publication with major editorial suggestions, recommended for reworking and resubmission (including a possible second peer reviewing stage), or not recommended for publication.

4 Theatre Research in Canada / Recherches Théâtrales au Canada will make every effort to process article submissions in a responsive, efficient manner. Under normal conditions, an author should receive an email acknowledgement from the journal within one week of receipt of a submission. Within the next four weeks the author should be informed as to whether or not the submission has been accepted for peer review. The journal anticipates that peer-review assessments will be completed and returned to our office within eight to twelve weeks. Therefore, under normal conditions, a submitting author should receive a summary of the review assessments no later than three to six months following the journal’s receipt of the submission. If the journal experiences delays in the return of assessments, or if assessments need to be reassigned for any reason, the submitting author will be notified. Submitting authors who receive a positive assessment summary are requested to complete all necessary revisions and resubmit the finalized article within twelve additional weeks.

Recherches théâtrales au Canada / Theatre Research in Canada vous invite à soumettre des articles qui font appel à diverses approches critiques appliquées à l’étude du théâtre et de la performance dans le contexte des cultures du Canada et du Québec. La section Forum (non arbitrée), est réservée aux exposés de principes, aux commentaires sur des enjeux d’intérêt pour la revue, aux renseignements sur des projets anciens ou nouveaux et aux notes de recherche. Elle peut aussi contenir des notes bibliographiques annotées, habituellement annexées aux articles.

6 Tous les articles soumis sont arbitrés par des pairs (voir le processus d’évaluation). Ils ne comptent pas plus de 7 000 mots et sont rédigés à double interligne suivant le protocole du MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing–3rd Ed. (New York: Modern Language Association, 2008). Les auteurs sont priés de soumettre leur article par courrier électronique (format Word), accompagné d’un résumé et d’une brève notice biographique, avec un minimum de formatage (à part la mise en retrait des citations et les notes de fin de document). Les notes de fin de document peuvent être employées (et non les notes de bas de page), mais en nombre limité. L’équipe de TRIC/RTAC vérifie les notes, références et citations si possible, mais il incombe aux contributeurs de voir à leur exactitude. Toute erreur peut entraîner des délais de publication importants.
