   The South Shore Journal is an open access peer reviewed general on-line journal. The Journal is co-sponsored by the NWI Quality of Life Council and the IU Northwest Center for Regional Excellence. This journal provides a South Shore venue for area scholars to focus their attention and academic resources on the region and allows the editors of the journal the ability to showcase the outstanding scholarly work of faculty, students and alumni in Northwest Indiana.

    The scholarly and creative work published will ideally represent a broad range of academic disciplines, and be inspired by the QLC regional quality indicators that include: a diverse community where residents are treated with equity and dignity, an economically thriving region, a region of opportunity, a region in balance with its' environment, a region that facilitates learning and intellectual growth, a healthy community, a region of open neighborhoods, an accessible community, a safe community, a region that appreciates the arts and celebrates life, and a community of engaged and caring citizens.

    Each issue of The South Shore Journal will be a Symposium-style publication with a specific theme selected by the Editorial Board. Each issue will have a different Editor as a result. Please see the Call for Papers for the current theme.
