CALJ and the Journal Community
Since 1990 the Canadian Association of Learned Journals (CALJ) has represented the interests of an increasing number of journals from across the scholarly disciplines. The three key functions of CALJ are:
- to provide services to CALJ member journals;
- to develop industry initiatives for CALJ member journals; and
- to enhance the collective strengths of the CALJ journal community.

Recent meetings

The meetings were held in Ottawa and Toronto in tandem with CALJ project activities, which required stakeholder discussions with SSHRC, CFHSS, NRC Press, CRKN, the Canada Periodical Fund and University Affairs magazine. A report on the outcome of these meetings and key next steps for CALJ and the journals will be sent to CALJ members in the coming weeks.
