<\/p>\n<\/p>\nThe editorial board of Imaginations<\/em> believes in the democratic dissemination of information, both for readers and authors. As such, Imaginations\u00a0is an online open access journal that publishes its articles according to a\u00a0Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial NoDerivatives 3.0 license<\/a>. Please review the parameters of this license agreement before submitting to Imaginations or repurposing any of its material.<\/p>\n
To us, open access has to do with readers\u2019 access to published materials and equally with the authors\u2019 access to publication. Because of our generous SSHRC funding, and the time donated by our editorial board, guest editors, and peer reviewers, Imaginations <\/i>is free to submit to and free to read online from anywhere in the world. We do not charge author publication fees.<\/p>\n
As an open access journal, our funding relies heavily on Altmetrics data. Readers can best support the future of the journal by liking, sharing, and citing us with frequency and fervour. Furthermore, as a courtesy we ask authors to link to our journal as often as possible.<\/p>\n

Publication Ethics and Malpractice Guidelines<\/h5>\n
Imaginations <\/i>is committed to ensuring that ethical standards are met at all stages of the publication process. All authors, editors, and reviewers involved in the publication of Imaginations <\/i>must, therefore, conform to the ethical standards outlined below. These standards have been adapted from Elsevier<\/a>\u2019s publishing ethics guidelines for authors, and from COPE<\/a>\u2019s ethical standards for editors.<\/p>\n
<\/i><\/i>Authors<\/a><\/p>\nAuthorship should include, and be limited to, every party who has made a significant contribution to the concept, content, execution, or design of the finished article. Any changes to the authorship of the article must be immediately reported to Imaginations, along with an explanation for the change and written consent of parties involved in the change.<\/p>\n
Authors are expected to submit original work for first publication in Imaginations. Plagiarism, multiple concurrent submissions of the same manuscript to multiple journals, and resubmission of an already published manuscript constitute unethical publishing behaviour and are unacceptable. Authors must appropriately cite all sources according to the standards outlined in our style sheet. Authors are further expected to disclose any existing or potential conflicts of interest relevant to their research subject. A conflict of interest may exist when an author has a financial or other significant relationship with organizations or people that could inappropriately influence the author’s work. Finally, if the author finds any significant errors in their work after publication, the author is obliged to report this error to Imaginations promptly, and collaborate with the journal editors to retract or correct the error. If the editors become aware of an error, it will promptly be brought to the author\u2019s attention, and a collaborative correction or retraction will be sought.<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n
<\/i><\/i>Editors<\/a><\/p>\nEditors will evaluate all manuscripts only on the basis of their academic merit and their suitability for the journal, according to the specifications set down in Imaginations\u2019 Mission, Publishing with Imaginations and Author Guidelines. Editors will not use unpublished research in their own work without the express consent of the author. Editors will respond to all perceived misconduct and all ethical complaints presented to Imaginations regarding submitted manuscripts or publications in a timely and reasonable fashion.<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n
<\/i><\/i>Reviewers<\/a><\/p>\nReviewers will treat all manuscripts received for review as confidential. Reviewers may not use unpublished research in their own work without the express consent of the author. Reviews should be conducted objectively, with a view to academic merit and suitability for the journal and journal issue theme, according to the specifications set down in Imaginations\u2019 Mission, Publishing with Imaginations and Author Guidelines. All observations and suggestions should be formulated clearly, and final recommendations should be presented with supporting arguments so that the author may use this feedback to improve their work. Any reviewer who feels unqualified for a particular review, or who feels incapable of promptly completing the review, should contact Imaginations and recuse themselves from the review process. Furthermore, reviewers who perceive conflicts of interest between themselves and the manuscripts they are reviewing will promptly notify the editorial team and recuse themselves from the review process.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n

Pour nous la libert\u00e9 d\u2019acc\u00e8s ne se rapporte pas seulement \u00e0 l\u2019acc\u00e8s \u00e0 des publications par des lecteurs mais aussi \u00e0 s\u2019assurer que les auteurs ont acc\u00e8s \u00e0 la publication. Gr\u00e2ce au g\u00e9n\u00e9reux financement du CRSHC ainsi qu\u2019au temps offert par notre comit\u00e9 \u00e9ditorial, nos \u00e9diteurs invit\u00e9s et notre comit\u00e9 de r\u00e9vision, \u00a0Imaginations<\/i> est en lecture libre partout dans le monde et ne n\u00e9cessite pas de frais de publication.<\/p>\n
En tant que journal \u00e9lectronique, notre financement repose \u00e9norm\u00e9ment sur les donn\u00e9es Altmetrics.

Code d\u2019\u00e9thique de la revue et lignes directrices en cas de fautes professionnelles<\/h5>\n
Imaginations<\/i> est d\u00e9vou\u00e9e \u00e0 s\u2019assurer que des standards \u00e9tiques sont respect\u00e9s tout au long du processus de publication. Tous les auteurs, les \u00e9diteurs et les critiques impliqu\u00e9s dans la publication d\u2019Imaginations<\/i> doivent suivre les standards \u00e9thiques d\u00e9crits ci-dessous. Ces standards sont adapt\u00e9s des r\u00e8gles d\u2019\u00e9thiques pour auteurs d\u2019Elsevier et des standards \u00e9thiques pour \u00e9diteurs de COPE<\/a>.<\/p>\n
<\/i><\/i>Auteurs<\/a><\/p>\nLa paternit\u00e9 d\u2019un article inclut, et est limit\u00e9 \u00e0, toute personne ayant contribu\u00e9e au concept, contenu, ex\u00e9cution ou design final de l\u2019article. Tout changement de la paternit\u00e9 de l\u2019article doit \u00eatre imm\u00e9diatement communiqu\u00e9 \u00e0 Imaginations<\/i>, accompagn\u00e9 d\u2019une explication des changements et le consentement \u00e9crit de chaque personne impliqu\u00e9e dans le changement.<\/p>\n
Imaginations<\/i> attend des auteurs la remise d\u2019\u0153uvres in\u00e9dites qui n\u2019ont pas \u00e9t\u00e9 pas publi\u00e9es ailleurs. Le plagiat, la soumission simultan\u00e9e d\u2019un m\u00eame manuscrit \u00e0 plusieurs revues et la soumission d\u2019un article d\u00e9j\u00e0 publi\u00e9 constituent un manquement \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9thique de la publication et un manque de professionnalisme. Les auteurs se doivent de citer toutes leurs sources selon les standards d\u00e9taill\u00e9s dans notre guide stylistique. De plus, les auteurs doivent communiquer \u00e0 Imaginations<\/i> tout conflit d\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat, en cours ou potentiel, ayant un rapport direct avec leur sujet de recherche. Un conflit d\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat existe si un auteur a des liens financiers ou toutes relations d\u2019importance \u00a0avec d\u2019autres organisations et personnes qui pourraient exercer une influence sur l\u2019\u0153uvre de l\u2019auteur.<\/p>\n
Finalement, si l\u2019auteur d\u00e9couvrent des erreurs importantes dans leur article apr\u00e8s sa publication, l\u2019auteur est oblig\u00e9 de le signaler rapidement \u00e0 Imaginations<\/i> et de collaborer, avec les \u00e9diteurs de la revue, \u00e0 une r\u00e9tractation ou correction de l\u2019erreur. Si les \u00e9diteurs de la revue d\u00e9couvrent une erreur dans l\u2019article de l\u2019auteur, ils le signaleront rapidement \u00e0 l\u2019auteur et une r\u00e9tractation ou correction collaborative sera publi\u00e9e.<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n
<\/i><\/i>\u00c9diteurs<\/a><\/p>\nLes \u00e9diteurs \u00e9valueront les manuscrits uniquement sur leur m\u00e9rite \u00a0scolastique et leur pertinence dans la revue, comme d\u00e9fini dans le Mandat d\u2019Imaginations<\/i> et les sections Publier dans Imaginations<\/i> et Lignes directrices pour auteurs. Les \u00e9diteurs n\u2019utiliseront pas de recherche non publi\u00e9e dans leur propre \u0153uvre sans le consentement pr\u00e9alable de l\u2019auteur. Les \u00e9diteurs r\u00e9pondront dans les plus brefs d\u00e9lais \u00e0 toutes fautes professionnelles et \u00e0 toutes dol\u00e9ances \u00e9thiques port\u00e9es \u00e0 l\u2019attention d\u2019Imaginations<\/i> concernant des manuscrits soumis ou publi\u00e9s.<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n
<\/i><\/i>Critiques<\/a><\/p>\nLes critiques respecteront le caract\u00e8re confidentiel de tous les manuscrits qu\u2019ils recevront. Ils n\u2019utiliseront pas de recherche non publi\u00e9e dans leur propre \u0153uvre sans le consentement pr\u00e9alable de l\u2019auteur. Chaque critique doit \u00eatre men\u00e9e de mani\u00e8re objective en vue de son m\u00e9rite \u00a0scolastique et de sa pertinence pour la revue et le th\u00e8me de l\u2019\u00e9dition, comme d\u00e9fini dans le Mandat d\u2019Imaginations<\/i> et les sections Publier dans Imaginations<\/i> et Lignes directrices pour auteurs. Toutes observations et suggestions doivent \u00eatre exprim\u00e9es clairement et les recommandations finales \u00a0doivent \u00eatre soutenues par des arguments, afin que l\u2019auteur puisse utiliser ces remarques pour am\u00e9liorer son article.<\/p>\n
Tout critique ne se sentant pas qualifi\u00e9 pour un travail particulier ou se sentant incapable de compl\u00e9ter sa t\u00e2che de mani\u00e8re prompte, \u00a0devrait contacter Imaginations<\/i> imm\u00e9diatement afin de se retirer du comit\u00e9 de lecture. En outre, les critiques qui per\u00e7oivent un conflit d\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat entre eux-m\u00eames et les manuscrits sur lesquels ils travaillent, informeront imm\u00e9diatement Imaginations<\/i> et se retireront \u00a0du comit\u00e9 de lecture.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
