The idea for the Journal of Canadian Studies/ Revue d'études
canadiennes originated with Professor T. H. B. Symons,
Trent University's first president, chair of the Symons Commission
on Canadian Studies and author of its report To Know Ourselves
(1976). Now in its thirty-seventh year of continuous publication,
the JCS/ REC remains faithful to its original mission:
to
provide a peer- reviewed, interdisciplinary, accessible, quarterly
source of scholarship in both official languages about any
aspect of Canada.
|
The mandate of the JCS/ REC is first, to publish the best scholarship
about Canadian history, culture and society, whether the researcher
is junior or senior, living in Canada or abroad; and
second, to serve as a vehicle for disseminating solid, original research
about Canada that falls between the cracks of more narrowly defined
journals.
The JCS/
REC was the first scholarly journal of Canadian Studies. It continues
to fill a distinct niche among Canadian Studies journals, many of
which are association journals, and most of which serve both foreign
contributors and foreign subscribers, viewing Canada from the outside.
Our journal publishes primarily (but not exclusively) the work of
Canadian scholars, disseminating their research to both foreign and
Canadian subscribers. Readers can turn to journals of Canadian history,
sociology, politics and literature for specific disciplines' understandings
of Canadian topics, to international Canadian Studies journals for
how others see us, and to the JCS/ REC for a wide range of multi-
disciplinary and interdisciplinary research being done in this country.
The Journal
of Canadian Studies/Revue d'études canadiennes is also a part
of Project MUSE.
Project
MUSE is a unique collaboration between libraries and publishers providing
100% full-text, affordable and user-friendly online access to over
300 high quality humanities, arts, and social sciences journals from
various scholarly publishers.
