Journal of Eastern Caribbean Studies (JECS) Call for Papers:

Introducing ‘Journal of Eastern Caribbean Studies (JECS)’

The Journal of Eastern Caribbean Studies publishes high-quality articles from a range of disciplines and from trans-disciplinary perspectives, which seek to answer questions relevant to the experience of small states and Eastern Caribbean Countries.  Particular attention will be given to papers that seek to compare experiences, within and across regions.

All articles published in JECS will be peer-reviewed. The following types of papers are considered for publication:

·         Original articles in basic and applied research.

·         Critical reviews, surveys, opinions, commentaries and essays.

Our objective is to inform authors of the decision on their manuscript(s) within six (6) weeks of submission.  Following acceptance, a paper will normally be published in the next issue.

Please follow guidelines as set out under “Information for Contributors”
