Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to include a French abstract for all Canadian journals?

Not all, but many major Canadian journals (especially those published by University of Toronto Press, UBC Press, or major scholarly associations) require French abstracts. Always check the specific journal's author guidelines. This prompt will flag this requirement based on the journal name you provide.

What's the difference between TCPS 2 and standard IRB approval?

TCPS 2 (Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans) is the Canadian national standard. Chapter 9 specifically addresses research involving First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. Canadian journals often require explicit mention of TCPS 2 compliance, whereas US journals typically only ask for IRB approval.

How do I handle territory acknowledgments in academic papers?

For Canadian journals, include a brief footnote on the title page or first page acknowledging the traditional Indigenous territory where research was conducted (e.g., 'This research was conducted on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit'). Some journals have specific formatting for this; this prompt will suggest appropriate placement.

Does this work for French-language Quebec journals?

Yes, but specify if the target journal is French-language (e.g., Recherches sociographiques, Anthropologie et Sociétés). The prompt will adapt to produce French-language cover letters and adjust formatting to Quebec citation styles if specified in the JOURNAL_NAME variable.
