Submissions should be 8-15 pages in length, double spaced. Keep in mind the selection is based on quality, not quantity. Length of paper is not a disqualification.
The formatting guidelines for the final submission are as follows: Word document in Arial or Aptos font, 1” margins, single column, and justified single space. Within the document itself, font sizes should be as follows: Title (18 pt., bold), Body of text (12 pt.), Acknowledgements (12 pt.), Abstract (12 pt.), Headings (12 pt., all caps, bold), and Subheadings (12 pt., bold).
Any good scholarly writing, past or present, is eligible for submission as long as the student wrote it while an undergraduate student at UNK and has graduated no later than within the last two years (e.g. a current UNK graduate student may submit work done as a UNK undergraduate). The papers can be co-authored by other students and faculty, but the undergraduate must be the lead author.
Submissions are requested from all disciplines and may follow a citation style appropriate for that discipline.
Please omit author and mentor names, as well as any other identifying information, from initial submission. Manuscripts that contain identifying information will be returned to the authors for revision. This may delay the review process.
