This includes visiting students, high school students on certain Purdue programs, and recent graduates. The only requirement is that he or she owns the copyright to the work being submitted or is authorized by the copyright owner or owners to submit the article.

General Submission Rules

Submitted articles that represent research which may be forthcoming in another journal or book (print or electronic) are welcome. However, it is important that work submitted to JPUR takes a different approach to the subject matter so that no author inadvertently plagiarizes him- or herself or reveals substantive research results intended for publication in a disciplinary journal. Student authors should check with their research supervisors before submitting proposals. If invited to submit an article, students will be asked to submit a signed approval for publication from their research supervisors. If you have concerns about the submission terms for The Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research - JPUR, please contact the editors.

Formatting Requirements

The Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research - JPUR has no general rules about the formatting of articles upon initial submission. There are, however, rules governing the formatting of the final submission. See Final Manuscript Preparation Guidelines for details. Although bepress can provide limited technical support, it is ultimately the responsibility of the author to produce an electronic version of the article as a high-quality PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format) file, or a Microsoft Word, WordPerfect or RTF file that can be converted to a PDF file.

It is understood that the current state of technology of Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) is such that there are no, and can be no, guarantees that documents in PDF will work perfectly with all possible hardware and software configurations that readers may have.
