About the Journal

Focus and Scope

UFJUR is published each year in the fall. UF JUR gives scholars a voice for their research in the arts and humanities, social, behavioral, education, STEM and medicine. Students submit their work with faculty/mentor approval.

Peer Review Process

Each paper goes through a double blind peer-review (UF) process with experts in the discipline of the article topic.  If the article is selected, the author will be asked to submit a revised version of the work before being accepted for publication. For this reason, it is important that authors provide up-to-date contact information.

Publication Frequency

This journal is published in the fall. Submissions are due on April 1st of any given year, per USP requirements.

Open Access Policy

This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
