Submission Guidelines

Style: Students should adhere to accepted manuals of style when writing their article. Different fields of study utilize different manuals of style, including MLA, APA, Turabian, and many others. Students may choose which to use, and they are highly encouraged to use the manual of style preferred by their particular field of study.

Cover Page: Include the author’s name, class year, major field of study, and the article’s type of research opportunity (SURF project, honors thesis, independent research, etc.). The student’s name and information should be on this cover page only: to facilitate a blind review, identifying information should be kept off pages containing the abstract and the body of the article.

Abstract: All submitted articles must have an abstract of one paragraph—approximately 250 words or fewer.

Key Words: Please provide a list of approximately five keywords in addition to the abstract.

Format: Submit file as .doc, .docx, or .tex. Include images, figures, graphs, and tables in the document in their proper locations.
