The Journal Committed to Social Change on Race and Ethnicity (JCSCORE) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal published by the National Conference on Race and Ethnicity (NCORE), a production of the University of Oklahoma Outreach.
JCSCORE (ISSN 2642-2387) is committed to promoting an exchange of ideas that can transform lives, enhance learning, and improve human relations in higher education.
The journal explores and examines interaction from interdisciplinary perspectives and reports on the status, needs, and direction of human relations studies affected by race, ethnicity and sovereignty in higher education policy, practice, and theory. As a journal of NCORE, the editors welcome work that reflects the complexities of intersectionality of identities and creative forms of scholarly work. As an interdisciplinary and peer-reviewed journal, we invite you to submit scholarship that transcends disciplinary boundaries, including research articles and monographs, as well as creative papers that pursue innovative formats of scholarly work and approaches, including narrative, poetry, and digital media.
To lower barriers to publication for authors, JCSCORE does not charge submissions or any other form of author fees. All editor(s), reviewers and authors' work is free/volunteer labor and supported by OU Libraries. JCSCORE does not have any submission fees, editorial processing charges, article processing charges (APCs), page charges, or color charges. JCSCORE provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. All content in JCSCORE is freely available without charge.
