- Abstracts/articles with a first author who was not a professional research contained within their manuscript with the exception of conferences that accept research abstracts.
- Abstracts/articles that focus on research outside of a natural or clinical science or technology discipline (i.e. humanities, social sciences, fine arts, etc.), unless there is a linkage between scopes such as an interdisciplinary conference.
- Articles that do not meet submission criteria include perspective, commentary or opinion pieces. Abstracts may only be submitted when there is an active call (i.e. for a conference).
Target Audience

Types of Articles
Conference Planners:
The URNCST Journal's main focus is to publish abstracts accepted by and/or professional- research conferences. As the journal's scope is already broad and multidisciplinary, in order for a conference to be eligible to publish their research abstracts in the URNCST Journal, the content of their abstracts must contain a natural and clinical science and/or technology component. For example, the URNCST Journal will publish the abstracts for a general science conference, and even a science and arts conference, but not a solely arts-based research conference. Conference planners and abstract book authors themselves do not necessarily have to be students. Please note that as of January 2021, the URNCST Journal publishes conference abstract books free of charge. If you are on the planning committee of an research conference, and are interested in publishing your conference abstract book in the URNCST Journal, please view the Instructions for Conference Planners page and contact us at manuscript@urncstuk.org for full terms and conditions.
For Selected Individual Authors:
The URNCST journal typically only publishes articles written by individual researchers if they were selected to submit an article at a research conference that had their abstract book published by the journal OR had their abstract accepted through the URNCST Journal Mentored Paper or the URNCST Journal Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Encyclopedia Entry Initiative. Full length manuscripts are submitted as one of three types of articles as follows: 1) primary research, 2) review, and 3) research protocol. Please familiarize yourself with the formatting guidelines for each article type which can be found on the Instructions for Authors page.
Solicited and Unsolicited Manuscripts:
Unsolicited manuscripts are considered, but on a case-by-case basis to ensure quality submissions; if you wish to submit an unsolicited manuscript, please contact the editor at manuscript@urncstuk.org to discuss the suitability of your article submission before making a submission. Unsolicited manuscript submissions that have not been approved by the editor will be subject to immediate rejection and acceptance
