The Vanderbilt Undergraduate Research Journal is a refereed undergraduate journal featuring the work of Vanderbilt University students. Published annually, the Editor accepts submissions in two concurrent sections, Humanities & Social Sciences and Engineering & Natural Sciences, as well as short research notes. Prospective contributors are encouraged to email an abstract to the Editor for general comments and suggestions. Abstract: 200-250 word abstract Typeface: Times New Roman 12 pt. Length: The suggested length for articles is 8-10 pages, single-spaced, although longer submissions that require a more extensive discussion of research findings are also encouraged. For shorter research notes, the suggested length is 3-4 pages, single-spaced. Format: All submissions should follow the documentation guidelines of The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th Edition. We prefer citations at the end of the paper, followed by a Works Cited page. For assistance with these guidelines, authors should consult the resource page created by the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Required: Authors who submit to the Humanities & Social Sciences and Engineering & Natural Sciences sections should remove all author identification, bibliographical references to the author or research team, and any acknowledgements to facilitate the blind, peer review process. Supplementary: Authors who submit publishable articles relying on extensive datasets, research instruments, or other informative research tools should submit those files in the appropriate format as Supplementary Files at the time of submission. If the article is accepted for publication, the author will be given the option of making any supplementary files available to interested readers.
