Founded in 1980 by the Canadian University Music Society (MusCan), it is published semi-annually with open access.

Copyrights

Intersections obtains and maintains the copyright on the content of the journal. The journal requires that authors formally assign all rights to Intersections when an article is published, including the right to copyright and the right to grant permission to reprint the article in various forms, and any revenue that may be generated from those reprints.

Authors can deposit their final, peer-reviewed manuscript into an institutional or disciplinary repository that will make the manuscript freely accessible immediately after its publication. Intersections is a digital open-access journal that complies with the Tri-Agency Open Access Policy on Publications.

Authorship

All parties who have made a substantive contribution to the article should be listed as authors. Principal authorship, authorship order, and other publication credits should be based on the relative scientific or professional contributions of the individuals involved, regardless of their status. A student is usually listed as principal author on any multiple-authored publication that substantially derives from the student’s dissertation or thesis.

Acknowledgements

All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an Acknowledgements section. Examples of those who might be acknowledged include a person who provided purely technical help, or a department chair who provided only general support.

Ethical considerations

When in doubt about any aspect of the ethics of manuscript submission, the author should contact the Editor, who will make the final decision in consultation with editorial committee members. In all cases, authors should disclose any circumstances about which there may be questions.
