About this journal

Junctions: Graduate Journal of the Humanities is an interdisciplinary, peer reviewed and open access journal in the Humanities. The journal aims to connect the different disciplines of the Humanities by collecting disciplinary and interdisciplinary texts so that they are accessible to readers from across the Humanities. Junctions provides scholars at the start of their academic careers with the opportunity to disseminate their research to a diverse audience of peers and professionals, as well as providing graduate students with relevant practical experience of organizing and maintaining a peer-reviewed open access journal. Through a rigorous double blind peer review process, the journal seeks to maintain the highest academic standards possible. Check out our new promo video here.

Announcements

  • Publishing 101: A Hands-on Publishing Fundamentals Workshop – Rashmi Shetty (UU Library)

    The last session of Junctions' 2025 Publishing workshop series is Publishing 101 with Rashmi Shetty, Open Science and Publishing Specialist at Utrecht University library.

  • Academic Peer Review: Reading Generously and Critically – Susanne Knittel

    In the third session of the Junctions 2025 Publishing Workshop series, Susanne Knittel will take us through the practice of peer review, a pillar of modern academia. Peer Review is the most common process of quality checking and validation of journal submissions. Many students are familiar with giving peer feedback but how does academic peer review work? With the expert supervision of Dr Susanne Knittel, this session will answer questions such as: What is the purpose of the peer reviewer? How should one address the author? What does it mean to write a good peer review and how do you avoid becoming the much-maligned ‘Reviewer #2’? We will also do some practical exercises in differentiating between an expert from a general peer review and we will respond to comments made by peer reviewers.

  • Junctions 2025 Publishing Workshops

    In Spring 2025, Junctions: Graduate Journal of Humanities at Utrecht University will present a series of workshops aimed towards students, early-career researchers and publishing professionals to learn more about the practices of publishing and editing as well as gain insight into the scholarly publishing landscape. It will also be an opportunity for the student publishing community and to gather and collectively develop their publishing knowledge. Equally we encourage the participation of those without publishing expertise to participate in the workshops, especially if interested in becoming an editor, reviewer or published author.

  • Editorial Practices for Interdisciplinary Journals - Iris van der Tuin

     

    The first session of Junctions' 2025 Publishing Workshop Series will take place on March 3rd (1-3pm) on the topic of ‘Editorial Practices for Interdisciplinary Journals’ led by Professor Iris van der Tuin (Dean of Interdisciplinary Education at UU).

    In this session, Iris will take us through some of the central questions and concerns that come with editing across interdisciplinary spaces. Many journals, including Junctions, handle academic articles which range in disciplinary style, thinking and terminology.  During this workshop, we will discuss how to make an article readable and engaging to a broad (interdisciplinary) cohort of scholars? When does technical language become jargon? How to balance legibility and complexity? How can an editor edit for comprehensibility and what is the role of the journal itself in navigating the challenges of interdisciplinary publishing?
