About the Journal

Scope

Canadian Journal of Multidisciplinary Qualitative Research (CJMQR) is the official international journal that provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global knowledge exchange. With the increasing number of qualitative health researchers worldwide and in North America, few peer-reviewed qualitative health journals are available to publish their qualitative research. Therefore, there is an urgent need for this journal to publish high-quality manuscripts on all aspects of psychosocial, humanities, and caring and health fields. CJMQR aims to be an international journal that helps novice and expert researchers to disseminate their highly standard scholarly work. CJMQR will publish original scholarly activities online, such as qualitative research studies, critical commentaries, editorials, and debates about qualitative research in the fields of psychosocial, humanities, and health.

Schedule

CJMQR will follow “a rolling publication (publish-as-you-go model); it will create an issue and add articles one at a time as they become ready for publication.
