Policies

Focus and Scope

The journal publishes work from all relevant subject areas, but priority is given to those that, in addition to showing acceptable scholarship, fulfil one or more of the following criteria:

describe or evaluate experiments in curriculum intervention that have relevance for Caribbean school systems
discuss theoretical matters that can favourably affect thought on education in the Caribbean
promote continuous curriculum renewal in the Caribbean region

Peer Review Process

When a manuscript is submitted by an author, the author will receive an acknowledgement by email. Manuscripts submitted for publication are first screened by a member of the editorial team to determine whether: 1) the article is suitable for publication and can be submitted for peer review as is; 2) the article is suitable for publication but needs work before being submitted for peer review; or 3) the article is not suitable for publication in Caribbean Curriculum. Manuscripts that are successfully screened, or which have been revised in light of the screening report, are sent for double blind peer review to two reviewers selected for their expertise in the specific area. Reviewers may be from national, regional, or international academic institutions.

Publication Frequency

The journal publishes one collective issue per year.

Open Access Policy

The journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.

Journal History

Caribbean Curriculum is an annual peer-reviewed journal of the School of Education, The University of the West Indies (UWI), St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago. It provides a forum for the publication of scholarly articles on the education systems of the English-speaking Caribbean written by scholars both within and outside the region. It began publication in May 1985 as a biannual journal. In 2001, with volume 8, the journal changed to an annual publication and since then has been published regularly. In 2009, the Editorial structure was reconstituted and persons were invited to serve on the Editorial Advisory Board and the Editorial Committee of the journal for three years in the first instance, with the option to renew membership. In 2019 the role of Chief Editor was added to the editorial team and a Faculty Advisory Board was constituted. Service in both areas is for a period of three years in the first instance.
