Nýsa Author Mentor Contract

Nýsa seeks to publish the best of undergraduate and student research from NKU. It provides an outlet for outstanding contributions from students in all fields, with special emphases on fields lacking in discipline-specific venues, research that spans several disciplines, and research that is smaller in scope but still tells a complete story.


ISRCA recognizes that research outcomes occur in a variety of sizes, and wants to highlight contributions of all magnitudes. ISRCA also recognizes that publication is a vital part of the research enterprise, and students should have the opportunity to participate in it. In addition to writing and revising their work, Nýsa seeks to engage
students in the review process. Editors will seek out faculty reviewers in the area of expertise and students in the same field.

Submission Guidelines and Checklist

 

Review Process

The first review should always be by the faculty mentor prior to submission.Submissions will be read by a member of the editorial board and if basic quality standards are achieved, sent to a faculty member who is in the field and
a student reviewer. Reviews will be completed, comments on the document
itself will be generated, and the reviewer will return a decision of ‘publish-as-is,’ ‘publish-following-revision,’ ‘revise-and-resubmit for review,’ or ‘do not publish.’ The editorial board member will then make a final determination and return their decision to the author, along with the reviews. Every effort to complete the review process within two months will be made. Should revisions be necessary, the editor will work
with the author and mentor to guide them through the revision process.

Copyright

Authors retain the copyright of their material and retain the ability to publish it elsewhere. The Journal reserves the right to reproduce and reprint published material for instructional and promotional purposes. Potential authors should be aware of their mentors’ plans, if any, to include their work in other publications, which may have restrictions regarding prior publications.
