The first and only online journal for undergraduate publications in the Neurosciences is now accepting submissions. Impulse is a inter-institutional and international effort based here at the University of South Carolina. Not only are all of the articles that are accepted for review primarily authored by undergraduates, but the peer review board also consists of other undergraduates at the University of South Carolina, as well as at other Universities. This venue allows an outlet for research that undergraduates have done during summer research projects or for senior thesis. The whole purpose of this journal is to allow undergraduates to act as primary authors and begin the process of writing scientific papers. I am writing to each of you to encourage you to have undergraduates write-up and submit research that they have done in your labs. This will not only allow the work to be published, but also to give the student a more complete feeling of the scientific process.

For a complete listing of our submission guidelines, please visit our submission page at:

Dear Educator,
I am writing to let you know what about a valuable new educational tool available to you and your students. The Journal of Undergraduate Sciences is a quarterly, student-run journal based out of Harvard University that is committed to providing a forum for undergraduate research. This is an opportunity for your students to publish their research in a national scientific journal and for them to learn about the research done by other students. Please forward this message to anyone who would be interested in submitting to JUS, such as senior thesis writers. JUS is currently looking for research performed by college undergraduates for its Fall 1999 issue. Each paper that is submitted is evaluated by a peer review committee, and papers are selected for their depth, quality of research, and variety of topic. The research may be done in any scientific field, including but not restricted to the following: Astronomy, Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Geophysical Sciences, History of Science, Mathematics, Medical Science, Neuroscience, Physics and Psychology. Any research performed during a student's undergraduate years is an acceptable submission, even if that student is no longer an undergraduate. Papers should be between 3,000 and 8,000 words and should include an abstract of up to 250 words. If you have a student who would like to submit, please send the following to the address at the bottom of this email:

The Submission Application and Authors' Agreement, which can be found online at http://hcs.harvard.edu/~jus/submissions.html
A hard copy as well as a copy on diskette. The preferred formats are MS Word if you are a Macintosh user; MS Word or PageMaker if you are a PC or Windows user

The preferred deadline for the Fall 1999 issue is August 1.

I hope you are as excited about the Journal of Undergraduate Sciences as we are. Please forward this message to anyone you think might be interested in submitting research to JUS. If you have any questions or comments, don't hesitate to contact us at jus@hcs.harvard.edu.

Thank you.
