First-time Submission of Manuscripts
It is important that authors include a cover letter with their manuscript. Please explain why you consider your manuscript to be suitable for publication in the Canadian Journal of Applied Business Economics, why your paper will inspire the other members of your field, and how will it drive research forward.
Submission of Revised Articles
Resubmitted manuscripts should be accompanied by a letter outlining a point-by-point response to Editor’s and reviewers’ comments and detailing the changes made to the manuscript. A copy of the original manuscript should be included for comparison if the Editor requests one. If it is the first revision, authors need to return the revised manuscript within 30 days; if it is the second revision, authors need to return the revised manuscript within 14 days. Additional time for re-submission must be requested in advance. If the above mentioned deadlines are not met, the manuscript will be treated as a new submission. For resubmitted manuscripts, please provide us with an editable text and publication-quality figures: Tables also need to be included within an editable article file or be submitted separately as editable files. Supply any figures as separate high-resolution, print- ready digital versions. In addition to the editorial remarks, authors are asked to take care that they have prepared the revised version according to the Journal's style.
Organization of Manuscript
We draw particular attention to the importance of carefully preparing the title, keywords and abstract, as these elements are indicators of the manuscript content in bibliographic databases and search engines.
Title
We suggest the title should be informative, specific to the project, yet concise (75 characters or fewer). Please bear in mind that a title that is comprehensible to a broad academic audience and readers outside your field will attract a wider readership. Avoid specialist abbreviations and non-standard acronyms. Titles should not be presented in title case (words should not be capitalized). Please also provide a brief "running title" of not more than 50 characters.
Authors, Affiliations, Addresses
In the cover letter, provide the first names (or initials – if used), middle names (or initials – if used), and surnames for all authors. Affiliations should include:
• Department
• University or organization
• City
• Postal code
• State/province (if applicable)
• Country
One of the authors should be designated as the corresponding author to whom inquiries regarding the paper should be directed. It is the corresponding author’s responsibility to ensure that the author list and the summary of the author contributions to the study are accurate and complete.
Abstract
The abstract should not exceed 200 words. The abstract should give a summary of the content of the paper. Mention the main findings without going into methodological detail and summarize briefly the most important items of the paper. Because the abstract will be published separately by abstracting services, it must be complete and understandable without reference to the text.
Keywords
List keywords for the work presented (maximum of 5), separated by commas. We suggest that keywords do not replicate those used in the title.
