CONTRIBUTOR'S GUIDE

All papers are subject to a double blind refereeing process.
All papers should be submitted electronically, preferably in Microsoft Word 7.0 or ASCII, to ijam@hec.ca. Papers may be submitted in either French or English.

No contribution will be accepted which has been published elsewhere, unless it is expressly invited or agreed by the Publisher. Papers and contributions accepted for publication become the copyright of the Publisher unless otherwise stated.

Authors submitting papers and articles should specify which section of the Journal they wish their papers to be considered for: “Academic” or “Practice.” Academic contributions should be between 4,000 and 7,000 words in length, practitioner papers between 2,000 and 4,000 words. All submissions should be typewritten and double-spaced.

All papers should be accompanied by up to six keywords and by a short abstract outlining the paper’s aims, main conclusions, and, if applicable, the methodology used (100 to 150 words).

Papers should be accompanied by a short (about 25 words) description of the author(s) and, if appropriate, the organization of which he or she is a member. Titles of organizations, etc. should be written first in full and thereafter in initials.

Endnotes and References: Endnotes should be numbered consecutively and double-spaced on a separate, attached sheet. Reference citations within the text should consist of the author’s last name and date of publication, enclosed within parentheses, and should be inserted before punctuation or at a logical break in the sentence. If several citations are needed, separate them with semicolons, and list alphabetically. Give the page number only if necessary. If the author’s name has just been listed in the text, the date in parentheses is sufficient. If two or more works by an author have the same year, distinguish them by placing a, b, etc. after the year. Use "et al." for works by four or more authors.

For example:

References should be double-spaced and attached on a separate page. Works by a single author should be listed chronologically. References should be in the following format:
