Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the

The Canadian Association of Slavists (CAS), founded in 1954 at the University of Manitoba, is an interdisciplinary gathering of scholars and professionals whose interests focus on the social, economic and political life of the Slavic peoples, as well as their languages, diverse cultures and histories.
There are more than 300 million people for whom a Slavic language is their mother tongue. They inhabit almost one quarter of the globe, from Central and Eastern Europe to Russia. The dramatic breakup of the USSR in 1991 affected not only its constituent republics, but also their neighbours in Europe and Eurasia. The changes transpiring in these countries today deserve the attention of Canadians.
With our world becoming much more interdependent than it was even fifty years ago, we need to take every opportunity to promote the intercultural skills necessary to understand the complexity of Slavic societies and engage them in mutually beneficial dialogue. The CAS contributes toward these goals by disseminating knowledge about the past and present of the Slavic world through the publication of Canadian Slavonic Papers / Revue Canadienne des Slavistes. Attracting an international readership, this refereed scholarly journal features articles and book reviews devoted to a broad spectrum of Slavic studies.
The CAS welcomes all Slavists to become members. Canadian learned societies devoted to the study of specific Slavic disciplines are encouraged to become affiliated with the association.
