The PPLE Academic Journal: our vision and how to apply

We wanted a place to showcase the acadmeic talent that can be found in PPLE, so we conceptualised the PPLE Academic Journal, a space for you to cultivate academic pride. Now, we need you to help us see this through.

Some things you should know about the Journal:

  • Submissions will be peer reviewed by an Editorial Board before they can be published. This also means they will need to be formally cited.

  • Alumni will be allowed to submit pieces, but there is a limited amount of Alumni articles we will publish (we really want this to be a place for current students to learn about the journal submission process).

  • The Journal’s theme is not pre-determined by us, at least not now, this is something that will be addressed by the Editorial Board.

  • These issues are annual, until the Editorial Board decides otherwise.

  • The Journal will be available online (you can put your published articles on your LinkedIn, you know that we are all about your professional development).

some things to know about applying:

  • We are asking for the following roles:

    • Editor in Chief

    • Head of Production

    • Development Officer

  • This is the second year we are doing this, so we prefer applicants who will prioritise their work for the Journal. This is especially true for the Editor in Chief and the Head of Production.

  • Expected work load will be 5 hours per week with a higher work load around the important deadlines.

  • You do not necessarily need experience! This is a learning experience for us and for the Editorial Board, so we have some plans for your growth in whatever position you are in.

    • That said, the Head of Production should have some experience (or a dedicated interest) in publication softwares like Microsoft Publisher, Adobe Creative Cloud, or other design softwares.

    • The Editor in Chief should have some kind of experience in leading a team.
