Submit your manuscript for publication in Oshkosh Scholar! Getting published will:

• add flair to your résumé so you stand out from other undergraduate students

• make an impressive addition to your portfolio

• increase your chance of acceptance to graduate school

• demonstrate to potential employers your ability to communicate complex ideas.

The submission deadline is May 31, 2013, for the upcoming issue. Manuscripts are accepted up to May 31, 2013, for publication in the 2013 issue. We will accept manuscripts anytime for subsequent issues.

Submission Process Overview

1. After reviewing the Guidelines & Evaluation Criteria, submit your Oshkosh Scholar Cover Page Form along with your manuscript in Microsoft^® Word format. (See the Oshkosh Scholar Style Guide for specifics on formatting.) You will need to submit both a hard copy and an electronic copy of both your Oshkosh Scholar submission and your cover page. (The electronic copy of the cover page does not need to be signed.) Send the electronic copies to ugjournal@uwosh.edu. Hard copies go to the Office of Grants and Faculty Development, Dempsey 214. Thanks!
2. The editing and review process takes place in summer. You will be responsible for incorporating suggestions from the editorial board and faculty reviewers into your final draft, unless the changes will alter what you are trying to convey. The suggestions will be discussed during a meeting with you, your faculty adviser and the editorial board.
3. All authors who successfully complete the editing and review process will have their manuscripts published on the Oshkosh Scholar website.
4. Student authors will be notified of their acceptance status after they submit a final draft. Selections for the print publication are chosen in early fall.  We will print the articles that are worthy of publication, limited only by our budget. 
5. The final print publication is available at the end of the fall semester. Each student author published in Oshkosh Scholar will receive two complimentary copies of the journal. Each student will receive an e-mail message when the journals are ready for pickup from the Office of Grants and Faculty Development. These students will also be invited to the Provost's reception after Celebration of Scholarship.
