Keep tables, figures (including graphs, charts, diagrams) and other images to a minimum (no more than 10); all such material must be accompanied by a brief narrative description to ensure accessibility.Please submit all accompanying files separately.

Authors must provide an abstract of 250 words or less, which will appear under the listing of the published version.  Authors should also provide a list of 4-10 keywords for their article.

All manuscript submissions must be accompanied with the author's brief biography - including the full names of all authors and their affiliation and full contact information. 

If your text includes copyrighted material, please submit a separate note with your manuscript detailing the relevant copyright information, and outlining the process you will use to obtain permission to publish the copyright material in the Journal.  Authors are encouraged to seek permission for copyright material prior to submitting articles for consideration of publication.

Authors are invited to make submissions in either English or French. If submissions are made in French, the title and abstract must be submitted in English.
