Western Canadian Alliance
Editorial Standards
Last updated January 2026
The Alliance Journal maintains rigorous editorial standards. All submissions are reviewed by the editorial council before publication. Authors are responsible for the accuracy and integrity of their work.
Submission Guidelines
Articles must be original, unpublished work directly relevant to Western Canadian politics, policy, or strategy. Submissions are accepted from Strategist-tier members and above.
Research Standards
Claims must be substantiated with verifiable sources. Speculation should be clearly labeled as analysis or opinion. The council reserves the right to request citations.
Review Process
All submissions enter a queue reviewed by the editorial council within 5–7 business days. Authors receive notification of approval, rejection, or requested revisions.
Moderation
Content that violates Alliance community standards — including harassment, defamation, or deliberate disinformation — will be rejected and may result in membership review.
Corrections
Factual errors in published articles should be reported to the council. Corrections are appended to the original article with a timestamp.
Prohibited Content
Personal attacks, unverified allegations against named individuals, and content that could expose the Alliance to legal liability are strictly prohibited.
