UACES publishes the JCER | Journal for Contemporary European Research, an online, free to access journal. The JCER is devoted to promoting original research and insightful debate in European Studies by publishing academic articles, research comments, policy analysis and book reviews across a number of disciplines (Law, Public Policy, International Relations, Economics, Sociology and the History of Integration).

The JCER also aims to provide a forum for post-graduates and early career researchers to learn about the publishing process and to see their work published alongside some of the top European Studies academics. All submitted articles are fully peer-reviewed by at least two academics within a relevant field of study.

The UACES Student Forum encourages its members to consider contributing to the JCER. You can do this in a number of ways. The most important way is to submit a research article or a book review. Submissions for the JCER's general issues (March and September) are accepted all year round. The JCER also publishes two Special Issues each year (June and December). Individuals should check the announcements page of the JCER website for themes and deadlines for any current Call for Papers (CfP) for these special issues. Full details about submitting an article can be found on the JCER website. If you have an idea for a Special Issue or even a Special Section (3-4 articles on a single theme) of a JCER general issue then please contact the JCER Editor.

You can also get involved with the JCER by writing a book review. If you would like to join the JCER’s Book Reviewers list please send an email containing your name, institutional affiliation, contact details and three areas of research interest to the JCER Book Reviews Editor. The JCER is also currently looking for individuals with exceptional English language skills to help with proof-reading and copy-editing. If you would like to help with these essential tasks please contact the JCER Editor.

The JCER is a free resource and the UACES Student Forum hopes to keep it free for all of its members for the foreseeable future. You can help keep the JCER free by making sure that any books, CDs, DVDs or other goods that you buy from Amazon.co.uk are bought via the JCER Bookshop or by clicking on any Amazon link on the JCER Website. Every purchase that you make in this way means that the JCER will benefit from a small referral fee received from Amazon. This money is used to support the journal in terms of web-hosting, advertising and sponsorship of student events such as the UACES Student Forum’s Annual Conference.
