Aims and Scope

The Journal of the University College of the Cayman Islands (JUCCI) seeks to create a voice for the faculty, staff, and students of the University College of the Cayman Islands, as well as the wider community, in such a way as to express and catalyze the views, emotions, and values that represent and strengthen the environment.

It is our aim to reinforce and reflect the images that represent the society, its roots, and its relationships with the wider Caribbean and the world. This is done in ways that encourage excellence in research, analysis, creativity, and discourse.

JUCCI will be a multidisciplinary journal covering a broad spectrum of topics and perspectives. Being eclectic in nature, the journal will publish ambitious works that reflect a wide range of critical and analytical approaches. Under the supervision of an editorial board, manuscripts of exceptional academic merit on a variety of subjects are published.

Guidelines for Contributors

Contributions are welcomed from all areas of scholarship. Manuscripts are expected to be original works able to withstand intensive peer review. Topics may fall within any theme of scholarship, including education, fine arts, humanities, medicine, science, social sciences, international relations, politics, history, and public policy. As the journal serves multidisciplinary interests, any manuscript submitted for publication should be of potential appeal not only to specialists but also to readers whose principal interests do not coincide directly with the subject addressed in the paper.

Authors, rather than the editor or the University College of the Cayman Islands, bear responsibility for accuracy and opinions set forth in articles published in JUCCI. Careful observation of the requirements set out below will reduce the time needed for processing manuscripts and thereby contribute to earlier publication.

• Format of manuscripts

Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced and delivered in both hard copy and electronic formats. The hard copy may be presented in PDF format and illustrations embedded, but the electronic copy should be in a common word processing program (Microsoft Word preferred) with illustrations on separate sheets (see below).

• Parts of Manuscript All submissions must have a title page, an abstract, and a complete and accurate bibliography based on APA guidelines. All parts of the manuscript should be double-spaced.

Abstracts should be submitted to: Editors: Dr. Genève Phillip-Durham – gdurham@ucci.edu.ky | Dr. Jonathan Bratt- jbratt@ucci.edu.ky
