Licht & Wissen
Who we are
Cover of the first edition of »Licht & Wissen«
Picture: Liana Franke (Universität Jena)»Licht & Wissen« (Light & Knowledge) is the student journal of Friedrich Schiller University Jena. Our aim is to make outstanding student work from all disciplines visible and at the same time to enable students to gain publication experience. In addition to the regular issue with stand-alone seminar papers and, where applicable, dissertations, special issues with essays are also published.
Submit your work
Papers can be submitted by e-mail to luw@uni-jena.de. The only condition is that the paper must have been graded at least 1.7. All submitted papers will undergo an anonymous peer review process.
Note on the format to be submitted
We require both a Docx and a PDF file of the submission. If the paper has been written in LaTeX, only the PDF file is required for review. However, a Docx file must be submitted promptly if the paper has been accepted for publication.
Get involved
As diverse as the submissions are, we also need editors from all disciplines to be able to evaluate these contributions professionally. But you don't have to be part of the editorial team to get involved. From marketing to quality management, design and administration—we have something for everyone! No prior knowledge is required—just curiosity, reliability and one hour of your time per week. You’ll learn everything else with us.
If you'd like to become part of the team or just want to get a taste of what we do, get in touch!
