The Canadian Journal of Development Studies provides an interdisciplinary, bilingual forum for critical research and reflection upon development theory and the complex problems of development policy and practice. CJDS publishes peer-reviewed articles and review essays, and the journal aims to keep readers informed with commentaries, practical notes and reviews of recently published books on development. The CJDS is international in its outlook and encourages contributions from scholars and practitioners across the world, while, as a Canadian journal, having a particular concern for Canada's role in international development policy making and practice. Submissions are invited in English or in French. We welcome theoretical papers, particularly if they offer thought-provoking interdisciplinary analysis; preference is given, however, to articles based on empirical research, case studies, or field work having significant implications for development planning and policy. We welcome contributions from all areas of development studies but require that papers are written in a way that is accessible to a multi-disciplinary audience. Use of disciplinary jargon is discouraged. Papers which use econometric evidence should do so sparingly and ensure that the results are explained. We also welcome short, incisive articles concerning current development practice, policies or teaching, or which open a dialogue on questions raised in earlier issues of the CJDS.Founded in 1980, the CJDS remains the only Canadian scholarly journal devoted exclusively to the study of international development.

Caribbean Quarterly (CQ) is one of the oldest periodicals in the English-speaking Caribbean. Regarded as the flagship publication of the University of the West Indies (UWI), it was launched by the then Department of Extra Mural Studies, UWI, in 1949, to be a platform from which research findings and general knowledge could be effectively disseminated within the campus and non-campus territories. Professor Rex Nettleford served as editor of CQ for forty years, until his death in February 2010. CQ is now produced under the umbrella of the Vice Chancellery.

CQ concerns itself with all aspects of Caribbean culture, in all its interdisciplinary ramifications. It is an outlet for the publication of results of research into, considered views on, and creative expressions of matters Caribbean. CQ publishes scholarly articles, personal and critical essays, public lectures, poetry, short fiction and book reviews – a lively diversity of types of writing reflecting the diversity of Caribbean culture. We invite original (previously unpublished) submissions on topics which are of general interest and relevance to the Caribbean. All scholarly articles are peer-reviewed: we insist on scholarly rigour, but we also encourage accessibility and discourage excessive use of academic jargon. Our aim is to produce high-quality material that can be understood by well-educated people from any discipline. Overall, we seek to paint a vivid picture of life in one of the most culturally diverse parts of the Western hemisphere, with information on its social and material culture, ethnology, history, peoples, religion and creative arts presented in a refreshingly accessible format.
