Journal overview

Published by Cambridge University Press from 2020.

The Canadian Journal of Philosophy  was founded in 1971 by four Albertan philosophers:, John King-Farlow, Kai Nielsen, T.M. Penelhum, and W.W. Rozeboom. Since its founding, the CJP  has grown into a widely respected philosophy journal with an international reputation.  The CJP aims to publish the best work in any area of philosophy in French or English. It receives close to 300 submissions every year from an international community of authors, and it uses a distinguished international list of philosophers to referee these submissions. All papers are selected on the basis of whether they make significant, original contributions to the philosophical debates they address.  CJP 's annual acceptance rate is typically close to 8%.

In addition to its regular issues, CJP regularly publishes special issues on topics of current philosophical interest.

CJP is registered in Alberta as a private not-for-profit corporation. It is managed by its Board of Editors.

Peer Review Statement
All articles are subject to initial blind-review by the Editorial Board Coordinator and in most cases a second blind-review by an Editorial Board Member. If found suitable for further consideration, articles are then subject to peer review by two independent, anonymous expert referees. At this point the Editorial Board Member sees the identity of the author to help them select unbiased referees. Finally, after receiving the referee reports, the Editorial Board Member may recommend that the submission be accepted for publication. All members of the Editorial Board blind-vote on the recommendation.
