We are delighted to announce that, from 2024, and with the support of the journals’ editors, the Australian Journal of French Studies (AJFS) and British Journal of Canadian Studies (BJCS) will be moving to a new distribution model that will help to reduce the environmental impact of print and distribution.

Reduced printing and distribution, convenient timely access

Quarterly issues of AJFS will be published electronically on the journal’s regular schedule (January, April, July, and October) with access to individual articles on the Liverpool University Press website via the AJFS webpage. A printed volume containing all four issues from the year will then be distributed in October, when the final issue of the year is published.

Similarly, biannual issues of BJCS will be published electronically on the journal’s regular schedule (March and September) with access to individual articles on the Liverpool University Press website via the BJCS webpage. A printed volume containing both issues will be distributed in September when the second and final issue of the year is published.

These combined volumes will be mailed in suitable packaging to subscribers and members who opt to receive a printed copy as part of their subscription/membership.

AJFS and BJCS are the latest journals to move to this distribution model, joining The Indexer, Contemporary French Civilization and CFC Intersections, and Essays in Romanticism.

Our commitment to the UN Sustainability Goals

As part of Liverpool University Press’s commitment to the UN Sustainability Goals, the new distribution model will enable us to lessen environmental impact by reducing print runs and paper usage, while still enabling subscribers around the world to have convenient and timely access to each issue.
