NEW Prizes for Submissions: Submit a Paper to DJIM Today!

With the semester coming to a close, we are once again looking for your submissions for our next issue! We are also excited to announce that DJIM is launching prizes for its top submissions in this year’s edition!  This year, prizes will be awarded for the top three submissions.

  • First Place: $100
  • Second Place: $75
  • Third Place: $50

The prizing will be determined through the peer review process.  Peer reviewers will be asked the following questions:

  1. Is the paper a good candidate for a Best Article award? (yes / no / maybe)
  2. Rate the quality of the paper on a scale of 1 – 10, where 1 is poor and 10 is exceptional.

The average of the three peer reviewers’ ratings (1 – 10) will serve as the basis for the Editorial team’s decisions.

We look forward to your submissions (deadline is January 8th, 2016)! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us (djim@dal.ca).
