About the Monogram

The UIC Research Journal International Edition monogramdepicts two feathers used in ancient quill pens. Intentionallyjuxtaposed to resemble the iconic Yin Yang symbol, this abstractform signifies the physicality and spirituality of the highest form ofintellectual activity—research. Aside from capturing the dramaticglimpse of ancient writing, which is the essential aspect of any formof publication, this powerful image also depicts the interconnectivityand balance between the multidisciplinary and international charactersof this research publication. In response to the UIC quest for qualityresearch outputs that can pass international peer review process, thissymbol was conceptualized to remind all researchers of UIC to committo the truthfulness, credibility, and validity of information derivedfrom the rigors of research writing.
