Submission Types

  • Research notes that present a focused dataset, method, conceptual intervention, or pilot finding
  • Literature reviews and review essays with a clear analytical framework and original critical synthesis
  • Book reviews that engage recent scholarly publications in a substantive and academically responsible way
  • Interviews with scholars, practitioners, artists, or field experts when the interview is introduced, contextualized, and edited as a scholarly contribution
  • Capstone, thesis-based, studio-based, or project-based work revised into article form

Editorial Fit

JEMUR is not limited to one discipline. The journal welcomes strong undergraduate and graduate work wherever it is produced, provided that the submission is more than a classroom exercise and has been revised for publication. Submissions should present a defined argument or question, a clear scholarly context, and a properly documented evidentiary base.

Creative or practice-based submissions are welcome when they include critical framing, relevant references, and an academic explanation of method, context, and contribution.
