Business ManagerCSAPI JOURNAL
In its aim to provide Filipino researchers a venue for academic publications to be shared to fellow professional educators, the Curriculum Studies Association of the Philippines, Inc. has launched the Philippine Journal of Curriculum Studies (PJCS), which is an online, open-access, and peer-reviewed journal that publishes conceptually rich and original contributions to all areas of curriculum studies, including curriculum theory, curriculum history, curriculum foundations, curriculum planning, curriculum unpacking, curriculum implementation, curriculum evaluation, instructional designing, and instructional evaluation.
As a journal primed to be a source of Philippine curriculum research, PJCS welcomes papers written in English or Filipino which are relevant to the local community that form its authorship and leadership.
All research articles submitted to PJCS undergo rigorous peer review process, based on initial editorial evaluation and external review by at least two anonymous experts.
