Leisure / Loisir strives to publish a diverse collection of scholarly papers in all areas of leisure, recreation, arts, parks, sport, and travel and tourism. Reflecting the multi- and interdisciplinary nature of these areas of study, the journal invites papers that use a wide range of perspectives and research methods. Submissions may include, but are not limited to: empirical research papers (qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods), conceptual papers, comprehensive review papers, policy and economic impact analyses, and pedagogical aspects for leisure educators. Commentary, rejoinders, and other critical papers also are welcome. Leisure is a global phenomenon, and therefore, the journal embraces international perspectives. Leisure / Loisir is the official publication of the Canadian Association for Leisure Studies/Association canadienne d'etudes en loisir (CALS). While Leisure / Loisir is based in Canada and offers a primary outlet for individuals affiliated with Canadian institutions, the journal encourages international submissions. All manuscripts submitted to Leisure / Loisir undergo double-blind, peer review by an Associate Editor and two reviewers. Book reviews are typically invited, but unsolicited book reviews are considered as well. As a Canadian journal, both English and French manuscript submissions are encouraged.

Letters in Spatial and Resource Sciences (LSRS) publishes high-quality, shorter papers on new theoretical or empirical results, models and methods in social sciences that contain a spatial dimension. It especially solicits manuscripts from regional science, regional and urban economics, geography, environmental and resource economics, demography, agricultural economics, GIS and spatial econometrics and planning. Examples of suitable contributions would be new formal derivations of theoretical or methodological results, new empirical findings, replications of empirical studies using new methodological approaches, short communications on new algorithms, evaluations of spatial econometric methods and meta-analyses. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (under 10 pages in length) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination. It allows readers to determine their potential interest in a letter and to digest a large amount of information rapidly. Papers exceeding 10 pages in length will be considered for publication only if, in the opinion of an Editor-in-Chief, the additional length is justified by the nature of the question being studied and/or the quality of the analysis that is undertaken. LSRS also intends to contribute to the dissemination of theories and methodologies across disciplinary borders. The only letters journal in its field, LSRS is a valuable addition to the specialists literature in offering quick dissemination and easy accessibility of new results. Each article in LSRS is reviewed by two peer reviewers in a double blind fashion and classified according to the JEL classification system. Officially cited as: Lett Spat Resour Sci
