Call for articles

What we publish. First-hand guides on academics, college applications, campus life, and anything else that helps students navigate their time at UWC Changshu China. Articles can be written in English, Simplified Chinese, or Traditional Chinese.

How to contribute. Sign up on the Contributor Portal, write your article using Markdown, and submit it for editorial review. An editor will read your draft and either approve it, request revisions, or provide feedback. If you are not familiar with Markdown, you can write your article normally first, then use any LLM (such as ChatGPT or Claude) to convert it into Markdown format, and copy-paste the result into the submission form.

Don’t worry about categories. Start with your idea and write the article first — you can decide which category it belongs to afterward. If none of the existing categories fit, that is perfectly fine. Contact the Editors-in-Chief and we will create a new one for you.

Questions? If you have any questions about the submission process, formatting, or anything else, feel free to contact the Editors-in-Chief through the About page.

Co-authorship. You can add up to 10 co-authors when submitting an article. Co-authors must have a Contributor Portal account so they can be linked by their profile. The first author listed is treated as the primary author; the order of the remaining co-authors is preserved as you set it. All listed co-authors can view the submission status and resubmit revisions on behalf of the group. Every co-author receives their own author page and contributor credit upon publication. We encourage authors to follow the Vancouver Convention on Authorship when deciding who should be listed as a co-author.

Automatic translation. When an editor approves your article, it is automatically translated into the other two languages so every reader can access it. You only need to write in whichever language you are most comfortable with. If you would like to refine the auto-translated version or provide your own translation, contact the Editors-in-Chief through the About page.

What happens next. Approved articles are published on the site under your name, with a permanent author page linking to all your work. You will be listed as a contributor on this page.
