The Canadian Journal of Action Research
Direction : Marianne Barker (Managing Editor) / Rédaction : Kurt Clausen (Editor-in-Chief)
À propos
The Canadian Journal of Action Research s'adresse aux éducateurs et éducatrices du primaire, du secondaire, des collèges et des universités qui souhaitent explorer les liens entre la recherche et la pratique en éducation. Bien que l’objectif premier de la revue soit de rendre compte du contexte canadien, elle accueille volontiers un lectorat et des contributions du monde entier. Pour certaines personnes, la recherche-action est synonyme de pratique individuelle et réfléchie; pour d'autres, elle est synonyme d'autonomisation du groupe. Les chercheurs et chercheuses de l’approche action l'utilisent comme moyen de développement professionnel, de réforme des programmes d'études et même de changement institutionnel démocratique. Quelle que soit la raison, l'objectif commun de toutes ces approches est de combler le fossé entre la recherche et la pratique.

Politique éditoriale et éthique
Peer Review Process
All research reports and articles are sent to at least two referees representative of differing viewpoints in the practitioner-researcher community. Reviewers use a standardized review form that is designed to provide helpful and supportive feedback to authors. Authors are notified of the decision for publication as soon as possible. Those authors whose papers are not accepted will normally receive advice on redrafting or alternative forms of publication.
Copyright Policy
Copyrighted material allows the author to quote briefly (up to 100 words) for scholarly purposes from most published materials, providing the source is correctly cited within the manuscript. If the author wishes to use figures, tables, or longer quotations, written permission must be obtained from the writer or publisher to reprint the material. Under such circumstances, the author needs to provide a permission summary with their manuscript submission. Written permissions must also be provided by subjects in any photographs or audio or video segments. If the subjects are children, a signed release from a parent or guardian must be provided for each child visible in the photograph or video segment, or heard on an audio clip. In addition, although linking to another site does not require permission, replication (such as "screen shots") or description of a site within the manuscript requires permission to be sought from originator of web site, including those created by students, teachers, or schools.

Author Guidlines
Sending in your Submission:
To faciliate the anonymous peer review process, it is important that you must submit two different files, as follows:
(1) “Blank” manuscript: In this copy you must include the title followed by an abstract of about 100 words describing your submission (abstracts are published separately to help readers choose the articles they wish to read). The body of the work should not be less than 6,000 words nor exceed 8,000 words in length, excluding references. Nowhere in this text can the author(s) name(s) appear, or any details related to their identity (i.e., publications, names of colleagues, affiliated institutions, etc). Submissions are to adhere to the formatting guidelines of the American Psychological Association (7th Edition). They must also be sent in double-spaced, 12 pt font, with Times Roman (or similar) font.
(2) Authorship information: In this separate file, provide a brief autobiography of the author(s). You may include information such as: current position, professional affiliation, academic background, and areas of current research interest. Please include your mailing address and e-mail address. A photo of the author(s) may be included.
