Submission process

Calls for proposals for the Journal of Neurodiversity are open to all French-speaking and English-speaking communities, including researchers, students, professionals and people who identify as neurodivergent. To contribute to the Journal, authors can choose from several types of submissions, including theoretical and empirical scientific articles, professional articles, book reviews and testimonials.

Then, to facilitate the publication process, manuscripts can be submitted in two manners, either by responding to a call for proposals (the current one is available here as an example) or by spontaneously sending their manuscript, possible with the continuous evaluation process.
