These are general guidelines. It is a work in progress, we will update as we go. We encourage you all to contribute if you have any additional thoughts!

·     MLA

·      Standard Canadian English

o   Use the Canadian Oxford Dictionary for reference

·      Ensure scholarly tone, but a certain level of informality is acceptable since it is meant to be accessible to all undergrad students

o   First person is acceptable, as long as the perspective is consistent

·      Use Oxford commas! This is McGill journal standard

·      Try to eliminate passive voice, but it is occasionally acceptable depending on the context

For now, we can all edit all the papers- please use the suggest function on docs. You can access them through the Padlet.

We will reach out right after the break, hopefully with more articles to edit.

Timeline: Meet again the week of Jan 4, have edits done by Jan 19.

Please watch your emails and happy editing!
