    Det er RefleXens mål at give dygtige studerende en mulighed for at prøve sig selv af som tidsskriftforfattere. Derfor udøves der ikke blot fagfællebedømmelse, men der vil i forlængelse af accept af en artikel gives konkret støtte til redigering i form af redaktionelle skriveworkshops.
     
    En typisk artikel i RefleXen er et omarbejdet bachelorprojekt eller en omarbejdet opgave på kandidatuddannelsesniveau, som har modtaget en god karakter. Der er dog ikke noget krav om, at forfatteren/forfatterne har fået en bestemt karakter eller er på et bestemt semester.
