Mission of Channels: Where Disciplines Meet
This publication seeks outstanding research by undergraduate students at Cedarville University who have been involved in faculty-mentored research projects and other scholarly activity. Research explores new ideas and previously undeveloped research problems, generates creative solutions to existing problems, and develops knowledge in new ways. We are committed to publishing excellent undergraduate research and writing, provoking discussion, and enhancing scholarly discourse.
Who Can Submit?
Anyone who is currently enrolled as an undergraduate student at Cedarville University may submit an original article for consideration, provided the student owns the copyright to the submitted work. Recent alumni may also submit original articles within three months of graduation as long as the article was written while they were an undergraduate student at Cedarville University. The student author must also identify a faculty sponsor who supports the student’s submission.
General Submission Rules
Submitted articles cannot have been previously published, nor be forthcoming in an archival journal or book (print or electronic). In addition, by submitting material to the journal, the author is stipulating that the material is not currently under review at another journal (electronic or print) and that he or she will not submit the material to another journal (electronic or print) until the completion of the editorial decision process by this journal.
Please consult the general policies for DigitalCommons@Cedarville journals for additional information.
