Writer's Guidelines

Published since 1972, Resources for Feminist Research / Documentation sur la recherche féministe is an academic journal of interdisciplinary feminist scholarship and research. Funded by SSHRC, the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto, and others, the journal is housed in the Centre for Women's Studies in Education at OISE/UT. The journal's objectives are to disseminate research findings and critical analyses addressing a broad range of issues relevant to feminist theory, research and activism, and to provide a forum for communication for feminist scholars and activists nationally and internationally. The editorial board encourages submissions from a wide range of disciplines and from diverse feminist perspectives which engage with issues of gender, sexuality, race, class, disability, nation and ethnicity and other conditions which shape women's lives. Submission Requirements The journal will only consider contributions which are not under consideration at any other journal or publication. We do not publish articles already published elsewhere. The journal requires four copies of each article, three of which have all identifying information removed. To ensure anonymity, references to the writer's own work should be removed from within the text and the references, and cited on a separate page. We do not return articles submitted for review and/or publication. Articles must be typed and double spaced. Articles are generally not to exceed 10,000 words. The editors reserve the right to make minor editorial changes. Manuscript Review Process As a refereed journal, manuscripts are evaluated by anonymous peer readers with knowledge of the subject area. Submissions received by RFR/DRF are first reviewed internally by the journal editors; those deemed suitable for the journal are sent out for external review. Based on the recommendations from these review processes, the journal editors make decisions about publication. The review process for manuscripts typically requires a minimum of six to eight months. Examples of References References should be limited only to those works cited in the text and should follow the Chicago Manual of Style.Check back issues of RFR/DRF for reference formats. Some examples follow below: Weir, Lorna. "Anti Racist Feminist Pedagogy, Self-Observed." Resources for Feminist Research/Documentation sur la recherche féministe vol. 20, no. 3/4 (Fall/Winter, 1991), pp. 19-26. Bannerji, Himani. Thinking Through: Essays on Feminism, Marxism and Anti-Racism. Toronto: Women's Press, 1995. Footnotes and Examples of Citations in Footnotes Footnotes should be kept to a minimum, should be numbered, and placed at the end of the article. 1. For an example of this kind of analysis, see Himani Bannerji, Thinking Through: Essays on Feminism, Marxism and Anti-Racism. (Toronto: Women's Press, 1995), p. 29. Examples of Citations in Text References to works within the text of an article should be enclosed in parentheses including the author's last name, the year of publication, and page number (Smith, 1992, p. 64). Multiple works should be given chronologically (Smith, 1992; Bannerji, 1994). These references should be kept to a minimum; where possible footnotes are preferable. Upon Acceptance of your manuscript, the journal requires the manuscript in both hard copy and computer disk copy. Information about the file name and word processing program (including version number) must be clearly marked on the disk's label. Each article must also include an abstract of no more than 100 words and a brief author's note of no more than 2 sentences describing institutional affiliation and research interests pertinent to the article. Writers whose work is published in the journal will receive a copy of the issue in which their article appears.
