Details

Earth Common Journal is creating, developing, and publishing its Volume 9, Issue 1 - "Influence" (2023).

Earth Common Journal (ECJ) is an international undergraduate peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum where students communicate a diversity of ideas and information on issues concerning conservation, sustainability, and climate adaptation.

ECJ is published by the MacEwan University Bachelor of Communication Studies program. It is published annually each fall, with its inaugural issue released in 2011. The journal accepts articles from all disciplines, and includes research projects that are empirical, qualitative, creative, and interdisciplinary in content and approach. It also accepts articles from students internationally, to provide global perspectives and discussions on conservation, sustainability, and climate adaptation.

Students in the disciplines of communication, journalism, editing, media, public relations, and writing are being sought to create this issue.

Deliverables

Students will work on the following projects for Earth Common Journal (ECJ):

  • Student Editors - provide detailed editing of 1-2 student articles that have been accepted for publication in ECJ. Editors will work with authors to ensure that articles are publication ready for the issue.




Mentorship

I will support students by providing 1-2 weekly meetings to update the progress of the project. This will be done either online or on-campus. I will collaborate with students to ensure that they learn and apply the publishing process from beginning (Call for Articles) to end (launch and publication of the ECJ Volume 9 - Issue 1)
