Focus and Scope

Canadian Studies in Population has a broad interest in substantive and technical demography and related fields of study. While Canadian Studies in Population will continue to emphasize Canadian content, the editorial board encourages manuscript submissions from all sectors of the international community.

It is assumed that manuscripts submitted for review to Canadian Studies in Population have not been previously published and are not scheduled for publication elsewhere. Submission of a manuscript to other professional journals while that manuscript is under review by Canadian Studies in Population is unacceptable.

Peer Review Process

The CSP relies on the advice of its editorial board members as well as selected specialists who represent a wide range of demographic and social science expertise representing Canadian and international perspectives on demography and population studies. Submitted manuscripts are first reviewed by the editor to ensure that style guidelines, word count, and subject matter are in accordance with the journal’s general guidelines. Manuscripts that pass the internal review are then sent to three external reviewers for assessment. Evaluations are expected within one month, addressing such matters as: 1) significance/contribution to the field; 2) appropriateness for the journal; 3) quality of the research; 4) quality of writing (clarity, style, and organization); 5) methodological contribution. The reviewer makes one of four recommendations:

a) Must publish as it is an important contribution and will likely stimulate further work in the area

b) Should publish as it makes a significant contribution

c) Publish if possible, it is a minor contribution

d) Not publish, it makes no contribution to the field of demography/population studies

When a manuscript is recommended for "revision and resubmit," in most cases the revised manuscript is returned to the initial reviewers for reevaluation.

Every attempt is made to provide authors with prompt and useful comments on their manuscripts. When the editorial decision is to revise and resubmit, CSP policy is to make a decision after the second set of reviews. When manuscripts are rejected, every effort is made to provide the author with constructive suggestions regarding how they might revise the paper for submission to another journal.
