Aims & Scope
The Journal of Student Research (JSR) is a digital, international, multidisciplinary journal devoted to publishing quality, original, scholarly research articles on a variety of topics related to business, communication, education, law, science and technology, and other current research topics.
The JSR provides a venue for students to publish current and significant research. The JSR accepts submissions of empirical and conceptual research that tests, extends, or builds theory and contributes to current research topics.
Criteria for Publication
The Journal of Student Research (JSR) seeks to publish authors who strive to produce original, insightful, interesting, important, and theoretically solid research. Demonstration of a significant “value-added” contribution to a field’s understanding of an issue or topic is crucial to acceptance for publication.
Authors should write manuscripts as simply and concisely as possible, without sacrificing meaningfulness or clarity of exposition. The journal editor-in-chief will evaluate manuscripts in terms of their contribution-to-length ratio.
Manuscripts should be no more than 26 double-spaced pages (justified, one-inch margins all around, half-inch indent, in Times New Roman 12-point font, using active voice), including an abstract (up to 200 words), keywords (up to seven terms), references, discussion questions (up to five), and relevant tables, figures (in their correct position in the text, not separate and not at the end of the manuscript), and appendices. The editor-in-chief may allow additional space for papers that require additional space for data presentation or references (such as meta-analyses, qualitative works, and work using multiple data sets).
