Undergraduate Research in Natural and Clinical Science and Technology Journal

Aims & Scope

The URNCST Journal primarily publishes abstracts for undergraduate-level conferences and case competitions internationally in the areas of natural and clinical science and technology., as well as full articles by invitation. The authors, in either case, must be undergraduate (i.e. BSc, BEng, BA, etc.) or professional-undergraduate (i.e. MD, DDS, PharmD, OD, RN, etc.) students who conducted research in a natural or clinical science or technology discipline. A submission to the URNCST journal is acceptable, if the first author is a graduate of an undergraduate program or is a graduate student at the time of submission, but conducted the research contained within their manuscript while enrolled as an undergraduate student. Examples of acceptable research submissions in a natural or clinical science or technology discipline include, but are certainly not limited to, the following: ○ Biology ○ Chemistry ○ Earth and Environmental Sciences ○ Medical, Health, and Clinical Sciences ○ Physics ○ Psychology* ○ Technology *The scope of the article submission must fall within that of the natural or clinical sciences. Please note that the URNCST Journal does NOT typically accept the following types of article submissions: 1. Articles from individual undergraduate authors (i.e. primary article, review article, or clinical case study) that have not been selected to make a submission to the journal through an undergraduate research conference or the URNCST Journal Mentored Paper or the URNCST Journal Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Encyclopedia Entry Initiative . 2. Abstracts/articles with a first author who was not an undergraduate or professional-undergraduate student at the time they conducted the research contained within their manuscript (i.e. MSc, MA, MPH, PhD, EdD, etc.), with the exception of conferences that accept research abstracts from undergraduate and graduate students. 3. Abstracts/articles that focus on research outside of a natural or clinical science or technology discipline (i.e. humanities, social sciences, fine arts, etc.), unless there is a linkage between scopes such as an interdisciplinary conference. 4. Articles that do not meet submission criteria include perspective, commentary or opinion pieces. Abstracts may only be submitted when there is an active call (i.e. for a conference).
