The RCGE began publication of the academic journal University General Education Bulletin in 2006 to serve as a platform for the discussion of general education in Chinese speaking areas, the publication of research results and the exchange of information. Its main columns include Discussion of Special Topics, Teaching and Learning in General Education, Forum, etc., and a total of six volumes have been published to date. The University General Education Bulletin became a bilingual periodical with the 5th Issue, so as to report the newest international research findings and draw on experiences.
Having accumulated the experience of publishing six volumes, the University General Education Bulletin has brought in a review system for the 7th Issue, with all articles to be reviewed anonymously by professional reviewers. With the move to the review system, the title of the University General Education Bulletin will change to the Journal of General and Liberal Education. Under the heading the Humanism in 21st Century General Education, volume 7 of the Journal of General and Liberal Education, published in June 2012, explores the challenges and burdens faced by general education in holding to the humanist ideal (人文精神理想) in the midst of the continuously changing university system.
