Impulse Journal
IMPULSE- An Undergraduate Journal for Neuroscience
Purpose
IMPULSE is the first online, undergraduate, international, inter-institutional journal for publications in the neurosciences. It consists of submissions solely by undergraduates that are reviewed and published by undergraduates under the supervision of a Faculty Advisor. With an increasing emphasis in universities on undergraduate experience both in lab and in scientific writing, IMPULSE offers those undergraduates who seek experience in neuroscientific disciplines the chance to complete the scientific process, including writing up the finished research, having it peer reviewed, and ultimately having it published and assimilated into the scientific literature. Students wishing to experience the publishing side are encouraged to join the IMPULSE review team.
Editorial Info
IMPULSE is affiliated with and based out of the South Carolina Honors College at the University of South Carolina. The editorial board consists of Cade Warren as Editor-in-Chief; Jeff Kent as Executive Editor; Brandon Sousa and Lauren Bright as International Editors; Michael Blew, Nathan Jones, and Catherine Meekins as Associate Editors; and Ben Goodlet and Ashleigh Moore as Publicity Editors. IMPULSE also has approximately 20-25 peer reviewers based at USC and other institutions around the world.
Publication
Submissions are always open on a rolling basis, with publication immediately after acceptance. “Rolling publication” is the direction IMPULSE has taken to ensure both quality of research, as well as a degree of promptness befitting an age of swift research and publication of results.
