We're excited to share that this year the Office for Science Education has partnered with the McGill Science Undergraduate Research Journal (MSURJ) to publish the proceedings of this year's showcase. You must be registered for and attend the showcase to appear in the proceedings.
By submitting an abstract to MSURJ, your name and that of your co-authors will be published in an electronic booklet containing showcase abstracts. Each abstract will be assigned their own Digital Object Identifier (DOI), the standard way of indexing academic publications. This is a great way to be recognized for your work in academic circles and to be indexed in Google Scholar!
Please note that in order to publish your abstract in the proceedings, you will need to receive consent from all of your co-authors and/or supervisors and sign a Publication Rights Agreement (PRA) with MSURJ.
Key details:
- Abstract writing workshop and clinic: Feb. 14th 2025 (optional)
- Deadline to submit your abstract: Feb. 28th 2025, 11:59 pm EST
How to submit:
- Review our abstract guidelines: link here
- Gather the two required documents for submission:
1. Publication Rights Agreement (PRA) (Please note that getting signatures from co-authors may take some time! So, contact them as soon as you can!) link here
2. Abstract submission .docx (containing your title, authors, affiliations, keywords, and abstract)
- Submit your PRA and Abstract submission document here: Submit
Late submission, or submissions that do not follow the guidelines (e.g., word count, incomplete PRA), will not be accepted. Submission is not a guarantee of publication in the proceedings.
We are thrilled to offer you this opportunity to gain even more recognition for your work. For more detailed instructions on submitting, click here. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at msurj.sus@mail.mcgill.ca.
