The Journal of General Education, published two issues per year by the Center of General Education, is a fully peer-reviewed academic journal. The Journal welcomes submissions of research exploring education related to social science, humanities, languages, natural sciences and/or topics related to general education. Unpublished monographs and translated manuscripts are also welcome.
Each submission is assessed through three stages: first reviewed and assessed by the chief editor as regards the format and style as well as the relevance of the topic, then reviewed by two experts who are in the field of the submitted manuscript, and finally screened by the meeting held by the editorial board.
The Journal accepts manuscripts written either in Mandarin Chinese or English. Manuscripts in other languages such as Japanese and French are also accepted. Information about how to submit manuscripts in Mandarin can be located at this website: http://cmugen.cmu.edu.tw/publication.html. If you are submitting in English or other languages, please use either APA style or MLA or other formats that are traditionally used in your own field of studies.
