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 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 April 2018 issue. The deadline for submission is Mar. 15, 2018. We are giving a $100 honorarium for UBC Graduate Students with accepted articles! 

Before submitting your article:

– Get your topic approved

– Authors must submit original work

– Keep your submissions between 750-1000 words and free of jargon (your contribution should be understandable to anyone without prior knowledge of your field) 

Please visit our website for the full list of guidelines: http://ink-journal.sites.olt.ubc.ca 

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