JCSCORE published with OU Libraries

The Journal Committed to Social Change on Race and Ethnicity (JCSCORE) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal launched in 2015 by the National Conference on Race and Ethnicity in American Higher Education (NCORE), a production of SWCHRS. JCSCORE promotes an exchange of ideas that can transform lives, enhance learning, and improve human relations in higher education. It explores and examines interactions from interdisciplinary perspectives and reports on the status, needs, and direction of human relations studies affected by race, ethnicity and sovereignty in higher education policy, practice, and theory.

In 2018, OU Outreach initiated a formal relationship with OU Libraries to migrate the journal to the Open Journal System & Public Knowledge Project platform. This new platform institutionalized the journal, increased access, and positioned OU as leaders in the discussion on how to improve campuses across the country. The new JCSCORE submission platform was revealed at NCORE 2019 in Portland, OR.
