A Step into the Future
Volume XIII
MSURJ is going fully paperless. Click on the cover to download your own virtual copy.
SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR 2018-2019.
Early Submission deadline: TBA
Final Submission deadline: TBA
The first round of papers are accepted from early submissions, and afterwards papers are accepted on a rolling basis until the final deadline.
We welcome original submissions from undergraduate students studying at any university. We publish research articles and review papers - interest pieces should be directed towards our blog, “The Abstract”. Data published in our journal is generally republishable in other scientific journals.
All articles are peer-reviewed by two or more professors or graduate students from the relevant field; all pieces also undergo rigorous style and copy-editing by our editorial board. Above all, we seek to publish well-written articles demonstrating scientific acumen as well as accessibility to the general scientific readership. We encourage authors to write engaging manuscripts and limit technical jargon.
