Submission and Guidelines
Spring 2026: Vol. 2, No. 2
All work should be prepared and submitted by the application deadline, including both the Submissions Portal and your Manuscript Document. To avoid any surprises, we recommend viewing the form and preparing all your materials at least a week in advance.
Preparing Your Manuscript
Please prepare your manuscript in the same format as demonstrated below (Manuscript Template). The easiest is to download this Word file and simply fill in your work. However, our formatting requirements are flexible. We encourage authors to format their manuscripts in a manner that makes it easier for peer reviewers to read and review the manuscript. Please read the Submission Guidelines fully prior to submitting your work.
How to Submit Your Work
Navigate to the Submission Access below. You will arrive at the WUJUR Digital Repository site. Press “Start Submission.” You will be prompted to create an account. The subsequent portal will guide you through all required fields necessary to submit your work. It should only take 10-15 minutes and will save your progress. It asks for:
