Publication Pathway
Journal Publication
Selected manuscripts that meet NSRI's editorial and scholarly standards are published in the NSRI Student Research Journal.
Research Archive
Archive records may include student manuscripts submitted through NSRI or student research completed through another venue. The archive preserves, indexes, or displays public student research records and does not necessarily mean NSRI formally published the work.
Rejection
Submissions with major concerns in originality, ethics, authorship, rigor, safety, or integrity are not accepted.
Submission Requirements
Manuscript types
NSRI reviews original research, review articles, methods or technical reports, research group outputs, and archive-appropriate student manuscripts.
Formatting checklist
Submissions should include a title, authors, affiliations where available, abstract, keywords, body text, citations or references, figures or tables when needed, and disclosure statements.
Required disclosures
Authors should disclose funding, competing interests, AI assistance, data sources, ethics approvals or exemptions, and any prior publication or preprint status.
AI use policy
AI tools may not replace authorship or fabricate citations, data, methods, or results. Any meaningful AI assistance should be disclosed.
Plagiarism policy
Submissions must be original and properly cite sources. Plagiarism, false authorship, or copied work may lead to rejection or removal.
Ethics and human subjects policy
Research involving people, private data, health information, surveys, interviews, animals, hazardous materials, or sensitive topics must follow appropriate ethics, consent, safety, and IRB or school approval requirements where applicable.
Review timeline
Initial review may take approximately 2 to 8 weeks depending on submission volume, completeness, reviewer availability, and revision needs.
