Works submitted may be works produced for classes or works produced outside of a classroom environment. Thesis projects are welcome, but must be abbreviated to a maximum of 15 pages, double-spaced, including images. Other works must also be a maximum of 15 pages double-spaced.
Authors may submit one work at a time. Please wait for a decision on your submission before submitting a subsequent work. All submissions are processed through https://www.submittable.com and are subject to a double-blind review process. Do not include your name or college affiliation or other identifying information within your work. An exception is for visual/audio works that incorporate identifying information as part of the work. Within the Bio field on the submission form, please do include personal information including any other previous publications.
Images that accompany the text or images for photo essays should be of sufficient quality to display online at the size desired. A minimum of 72 dpi is acceptable.
In regard to style of presentation, refer to the preferred style in your field. For works in the humanities, MLA style is preferred. For works of science and technology, APA style is preferred.
Once your submission is received, it will be assigned to two editors for review. A decision to accept/reject will then be made. In the case of a tie, the managing editor (the gate keeper to the double-blind process) will assign the submission to one other editor for a decision. Decisions to accept may be accompanied by a request for revisions before a final decision is made.
UReCA acquires first World electronic rights but the copyright remains with the creator. All print rights remain with the author, but mention of UReCA as the first publisher is requested if published in print.
