Impulse: About Us


ABOUT IMPULSE

1.	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.

2.	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 an Editor-in-Chief; an Executive Editor; an International Editor; Associate Editors; and Publicity Editors. We also have a review board composed of students from USC and other institutions.

3.	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.

4.	Contact:	For further questions and inquiries about submitting your article to IMPULSE, as well as questions on how to become a peer reviewer for IMPULSE, please contact the Editor-in-Chief at impulse@schc.sc.edu. You will receive an application to join IMPULSE.
