About

The journal Diversité urbaine was launched in 2000 under the auspices of the Urban Diversity Research Group (GRDU). Since 2019, it has been led by Tania Saba, a full professor at the School of Industrial Relations at the Université de Montréal and the founder and holder of the Chaire de recherche BMO en diversité et gouvernance de l’Université de Montréal. The journal aims to foster original thinking on issues regarding diversity management and governance. With a multidisciplinary and intersectional focus, it pays particular attention to equity, diversity, and inclusion—at both the individual and organizational levels—in Quebec and around the world. It operates against a backdrop of growing awareness regarding the importance of equal rights and the fight against discrimination and inequality. It is the only French-language scholarly journal dedicated specifically to these issues.

Diversité urbaine opens its pages to both established researchers and emerging scholars. By publishing research from the social sciences and humanities, the journal aims to foster knowledge sharing among the research community, public authorities, and the various stakeholders interested in better understanding the dynamics of diversity in contemporary societies—particularly within the realms of work and education.

To increase the visibility of research and ensure the free flow of knowledge— while respecting copyright— Diversité urbaine is published via Diamond Open Access. 

Diversité urbaine is a knowledge dissemination platform that is primarily French-speaking but also accepts article proposals written in English. It is supported by the Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ).

Editorial policy and ethics

Editorial Policy

  • Articles published in the journal are available via open access. As of January 1, 2025, the journal requires authors to publish their articles under a CC BY 4.0 license. Authors retain their copyright.
  • The peer review process is double-blind. Reviewers are selected by the journal’s management and editorial team. The journal publishes thematic issues based on calls for papers as well as general (non-thematic) issues. Thematic issues are co-edited by subject-matter experts, who are supported throughout the production process by the journal’s editorial team.
  • In the event of a conflict between authors, reviewers, and journal management, the decisions of the journal management prevail. Journal management is supported by an advisory board. The journal does not guarantee the review of all submitted manuscripts; the editorial team reserves the right to reject an article outright if it does not align with the journal’s editorial policy or fails to comply with said policy or with scholarly publishing best practices (e.g., regarding plagiarism, editorial ethics, or conflicts of interest).
  • The journal adheres to COPE recommendations and its guidelines on the code of conduct and best practices for scholarly publishing.
  • Unsolicited submissions (non-thematic) may be sent to us at any time.

 

Anti-plagiarism policy

Diversité urbaine publishes only original articles and does not tolerate any form of plagiarism, including self-plagiarism.

All authors are required to comply with copyright regulations regarding the use of texts or text excerpts, tables, figures, or photographs. The original authors of any material used must be clearly acknowledged.

If plagiarism is detected during the initial review by the editorial board or during peer review, the article will be rejected. If detected after publication, measures will be taken to inform the readership.

Use of artificial intelligence

Reasonable use of AI is permitted for the purpose of improving the form (language quality) of the text. However, the use of generative AI for scientific production and evaluation is prohibited for both authors and reviewers.

If dishonest use of AI is detected during the initial review by the editorial board or during peer review, the article will be rejected. If detected after publication, measures will be taken to inform the readership.

Inclusive writing

We ask our authors to respect and reflect inclusivity, including in the way they write their articles. The use of epicene nouns and adjectives, double forms, or parentheses to include feminine grammatical forms is recommended by the editorial team, which reserves the right to adapt texts as necessary.

Information for contributors

Review Process

If the journal’s management and advisory committee deem the article suitable for consideration, the text will be submitted anonymously to two reviewers with expertise in the field.

Selected articles must then be revised in light of the reviewers' comments, incorporating either minor or major corrections.

The journal team reserves the right to make stylistic adjustments to ensure the readability of the articles.

Manuscript Submission Guidelines

The journal primarily publishes texts in French and occasionally articles in English.

Articles must be between 4,500 and 7,000 words in length, excluding the bibliography.

The first page must include the article title (in both English and French), as well as the name, professional affiliation, and email address of the author(s).

The manuscript must include the following elements in both French and English: the title, a 125-word abstract, and five keywords.

We ask authors to uphold and reflect inclusivity, including in their writing style. The editorial team recommends the use of epicene nouns and adjectives, double forms, or parentheses to include feminine grammatical forms; the team reserves the right to adjust texts if these practices are not followed upon submission.

Manuscript formatting

The text must be double-spaced using a standard font (Times New Roman, 12-point), with justified alignment and 3 cm margins.

Main headings should be in bold, and subheadings in italics.

Pages must be numbered at the bottom right.

Notes, numbered using Arabic numerals, should be placed at the end of the text.

Book and journal titles, as well as foreign words, must be italicized.

Acronyms and initialisms must be placed in parentheses immediately following the full term (without intervening punctuation) upon first mention.

All quotations must be enclosed in French quotation marks (« quotation »), with a non-breaking space after the opening mark and before the closing mark. Use English quotation marks (“quotation within a quotation,” without spaces) for nested quotes. Block-indent quotations longer than four lines.

Any quotation from a language other than English must be translated.

Tables, figures, and graphs should be embedded in the text; please also attach the original files separately.

References and bibliography

Only references cited in the text should appear in the bibliography.

Place the bibliography at the end of the text. Follow APA 7th edition standards.

References are inserted into the body of the text as follows:

Reference without a direct quote (Rossi, 2021; Collins & Bilge, 2016; Molenberghs et al., 2014; Taylor, 2004, 2002);

Reference with citation (Werbner, 2018, p. 15);

For three or more authors, use "et al.";

For a forthcoming work, write (Tremblay [forthcoming]). Also include [forthcoming] in brackets in the bibliography.

 

For in-text quotations

Quotations appear in standard type. They are enclosed in French quotation marks within the text, followed by the reference (Author, Year, p. x).

Quotations exceeding four lines must be indented. In this case only, the quotation marks are omitted for a cleaner layout.
