Urncst Journal

The Undergraduate Research in Natural and Clinical Science and Technology (URNCST) [pronounced “earnest”] Journal is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that accepts research article submissions from undergraduate students all over the world. Commonly, undergraduate students spend a relatively short amount of time working alongside a principal investigator, however, it often takes much longer for research projects to be completed and ready for publication in an academic journal. This precludes them from participating in the final stage of the scientific journey which involves receiving peer-reviewed feedback and publishing their work. This presents an exceptional challenge for undergraduate students who may have an interest in further pursuing their career as a researcher, by means of graduate or professional school, where it is increasingly common for highly competitive applicants to have authored research articles. Thus, the URNCST Journal was created to provide dedicated undergraduate researchers with a cost-effective and meaningful platform to showcase their research findings with an international audience that includes their peers and mentors, not to mention graduate and professional program admissions committees.
