Submissions process and info. revised Winter ’22*
| Submission due dates: | Submissions are due January 31st. |
| While submissions are accepted on a rolling basis, e-mailed submissions are due January 31st to be considered for publication in the year’s current volume. (Take, for example, the 2022-2023 academic year. Submissions received before January 31st, 2023, would be considered for the 2023 volume. Submissions received after January 31st, 2023, would be considered for the 2024 volume.) Due to our reliance on student effort, submissions may expect a more timely response during the academic year (i.e., August – April). Please note that we do observe university holidays and breaks. At present, we’ve changed our publication schedule to once per year. (If, at a later time, the rate of submissions increases, we may again attempt a biyearly publication schedule.) | |
| Submission Guidelines: | |
| Author eligibility – The first author must be an undergraduate student, alumnus, or alumna who graduated no more than 2 years before the manuscript is submitted to JUEMP. There are no limitations placed on the co-authors, such that co-authors may be non-students, undergraduate students, alumni, graduate students, faculty, or community members. Specific submission guidelines are provided below. | |
| Blind review – manuscripts submitted to JUEMP for review will be reviewed using a blind review process and SafeAssign. JUEMP utilizes SafeAssign to help ensure integrity. | |
