Coalition Publica is launching a call for applications for scholarly journals wishing to be disseminated on the Érudit platform (erudit.org) as of January 2023. The journal should submit its application before Sunday, April 24, 2022. Applications received after this date may be evaluated for the following year.

SELECTION CRITERIA

To be eligible, applicant journals must meet the following criteria:

• The journal must follow a rigorous and independent peer review process.
• At least one third of the journal’s editorial committee must be made up of researchers affiliated with a Canadian post-secondary educational institution and/or the journal must be owned by a Canadian not-for-profit organization.
• The journal must publish at least six scholarly articles per year.
• The journal must have been published for at least two years as a peer-reviewed scholarly journal.
• The journal must be related to a social science or humanities discipline.
• The journal must publish primarily in English and/or French.

PROCESS

1. Complete the online application form at https://forms.gle/KGtkzj2ySC4Ss5768

2. Érudit’s Scientific Committee will examine the applications and will approve, reject or outline conditions for the inclusion of the journal on the erudit.org platform.

3. Choose a type of digital production. Érudit will provide applicant journals with a proposal  with two options:

   • Minimal XML (metadata tagging in XML, dissemination of articles in PDF format)

     example: https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/1055543ar)

   • Full XML (metadata and full text markup in XML, dissemination of articles in PDF and HTML; other formats also available (e.g. ePub))

     example: https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/1055322ar

4. Sign contracts between the journal and Érudit. Contracts must be returned to Érudit before September 1, 2022, otherwise the journal cannot be integrated in 2023.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with Coalition Publica’s services for journals.
