THE CORDILLERA REVIEW is the official research journal of the University of the Philippines Baguio. TCR is a multidisciplinary journal devoted to studies on Philippine culture and society. Given the geographical location and research thrust of the University of the Philippines Baguio, TCR puts an emphasis on research pertaining to the Cordillera region and other parts of Northern Luzon, Philippines. It encourages submission of comparative studies and papers that contribute to the debate on theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of indigenous and upland societies. It also accepts reviews of recent publications related to Cordillera and Philippine Studies. Although it cannot accommodate scientific or empirical papers in the hard sciences, the journal welcomes articles on science and technology that relate to Philippine issues and concerns.
Submissions for the 2nd issue of THE CORDILLERA REVIEW, slated for release in October 2009, are now being accepted.
Review process
TCR is a refereed publication that subscribes to the established standards of academic publications. Articles submitted to the journal are subjected to a double-blind review process. Initial screening of manuscripts is done by the Board of Editors. Articles that meet the requirements of the journal are then referred, for comments and recommendation, to external reviewers from different academic institutions in the Philippines and abroad. The final decision is made by the Editor-in-Chief in consultation with the other members of the Board of Editors. Together, they review the entire referee process, to ensure that all editorial suggestions have been addressed.
Submission guidelines
The prescribed length for regular articles is 15 to 50 double-spaced, typewritten pages, inclusive of endnotes and reference list. Longer works can be considered, based on merit.
Manuscripts must be in MS Word format. For typeface, use Times New Roman, 12 points. Illustrations, figures, and tables should use the MS Office package facilities and must be in their proper place in the Word document.
