Author Guidelines

Any McGill undergraduate student who has written a paper in the field of Linguistics or a related field is eligible to submit that paper, provided that all sources are properly cited and the paper is free of plagiarism. Plagiarism checks are conducted by our team for each paper submitted. Papers must have obtained a grade of A- or higher. Papers that recieved a grade lower than an A- may still be submitted under special circumstances, i.e., if the paper has been worked on since the grade was given. Please explain any special circumstances in the comment box upon submission. 

Authors must provide an abstract upon submission. If the article involves human subjects, authors must obtain an ethics approval (see below). Papers may be of any length, and will be published with LSA style citations, as is standard in the field of Linguistics. It is the responsibility of the author to secure any copyright to 3rd party images included in submissions. Finally, papers must be anonymized upon submission, and names should be removed from both the paper itself and the PDF metadata.
