Manuscript Editing for Atlantis: Critical Studies in Gender, Culture & Social Justice
Founded in 1975 at Acadia University, Atlantis: Critical Studies in Gender, Culture & Social Justice publishes scholarly work in women's and gender studies, including critical reflection on the field itself. It draws on feminist, anti-racist, intersectional, transnational, and cultural studies approaches. Mount Saint Vincent University in Halifax has published it since 1980 through the Alexa McDonough Institute for Women, Gender and Social Justice. The journal appears twice a year in open access, with no fee to publish.
Research articles run up to 7,000 words including references, and the journal also takes review articles. Creative work includes poems of up to two pages and short stories or creative nonfiction of up to 3,000 words. Book reviews run under 1,000 words. Citations follow the Chicago Manual of Style, author-date. Footnotes are unacceptable and endnotes are discouraged; any endnote numbers are typed manually. The abstract runs up to 200 words in the language of the article. Research and review articles receive double-blind review from at least two external reviewers, so author names come out of the file and its properties. The Literary Editor reviews creative work with the Editorial Board. Submissions go through the journal's OJS site.
