Everyone is welcome

The deadline for article submissions to the UBC INK Journal has been extended. We would greatly appreciate if you could distribute this to your students. Thank you!

 

DEADLINE EXTENDED TO AUGUST 16th, 2017: 

Articles for the INK Journal

Do you want to…

 

Bring more attention to the research you have worked so hard to produce?

Develop skills in communicating your work to a general audience?

Build connections with other researchers in the UBC community?  

 

If your answer is yes, then submit an article of your work to INK (Ideas, Numbers, Knowledge)!

 

INK is a non-academic, student-run journal that amasses knowledge from across the disciplines. The journal offers a platform for bright and motivated students to communicate their work in a way that can be understood by someone outside of their field of expertise. It also hosts interdisciplinary discussions on real world problems, and serves as a vehicle for knowledge sharing and collaboration. 

 

Our team aims to bring together academic communities from across UBC and beyond to enhance sharing and communication of knowledge. We disseminate innovative thinking that addresses practical issues in society, and we offer students a niche for their ideas as well as involvement in the actual publication process.

 

We are currently accepting submissions for our August 2017 issue. The deadline for submission has been extended to August 16th, 2017. Graduate students will receive a $100 honorarium for successfully published articles. For more information, please visit our website.

 

Please submit your article to INK’s Editor-in-Chief, Samantha Jones at ubc.ink.journal@gmail.com.
