How NSRI Works

NSRI connects students to research groups, editorial guidance, integrity review, and public research pathways while keeping journal publication and research archive records clearly separate.

Start Your Research

1. Qualify through AI Research Foundations or prior-research review

Students first become NSRI Qualified Researchers by completing AI Research Foundations or passing a human review of credible prior research.

2. Qualified Researchers join or create a project

Qualified Researchers may join an open group or create an independent or PhD-supported research project.

3. Student project leads run weekly execution

Student project leads coordinate weekly work, milestones, meetings, and documentation. PhD advisors provide feedback at defined checkpoints.

4. Students prepare manuscripts or outputs

Teams may prepare manuscripts, abstracts, reviews, datasets, reports, posters, or other research outputs depending on the project.

5. NSRI reviews submissions for quality and integrity

Submissions are checked for originality, ethics, authorship, rigor, safety, disclosures, formatting, and editorial fit.

6. Strong manuscripts may be selected for the NSRI Student Research Journal

Selected manuscripts that meet NSRI editorial and scholarly standards may be published in the NSRI Student Research Journal.

7. Other acceptable outputs may be hosted in the NSRI Research Archive

The NSRI Research Archive may host student manuscripts submitted through NSRI or student research completed through another venue, repository, journal, conference, preprint server, school platform, or publication pathway. Archive hosting does not necessarily mean NSRI formally published the work.

8. Submissions with major issues are rejected or returned for revision

Work with major concerns in originality, ethics, authorship, rigor, safety, or integrity is rejected or returned for revision.
