About the Monogram

The UIC Research Journal International Edition monogram depicts two feathers used in ancient quill pens. Intentionally juxtaposed to resemble the iconic Yin Yang symbol, this abstract form signifies the physicality and spirituality of the highest form of intellectual activity – research. Aside from capturing the dramatic glimpse of ancient writing, which is the essential aspect of any form of publication, this powerful image also depicts the interconnectivity and balance between the multidisciplinary and international characters of this research publication. In response to the UIC quest for quality research outputs that can pass international peer review process, this symbol was conceptualized to remind all researchers of UIC to commit to the truthfulness, credibility, and validity of information derived from the rigors of research writing. Created by Jo Caliph G. Rivera, this monogram is meant to become a unique emblem in every cover of UIC Research Journal International Edition.    Renan P. Limjuco     Editor in Chief
