The National Council of University Research Administrators (NCURA) welcomes original submissions for consideration pertaining to any aspect of research administration. The core categories for contribution are listed here. For submission consideration to any of these subject areas, authors are invited to email the appropriate contributing editor with their suggested article topic for consideration. For submissions falling outside of these general subject areas, authors are invited to email their article proposals to Executive Editor Marc Schiffman PLEASE NOTE: NCURA strives for diversity of authors and as such limits the number of times an individual author can be published to two times annually.
Instructions for Submissions:
An example of a biography follows:
Deborah L. Smith, Ed.D., Associate Vice Chancellor for Research at The University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, is a graduate of NCURA's Leadership Development Institute and The University of Tennessee Leadership Institute. Debbie's responsibilities at UTHSC include policy development and implementation, pre-award activities, and post-award non-financial activities. She can be reached at dsmith@uthsc.edu.
All submissions should be in standard APA style. Details of this style, its citation format, etc. can be found at:
If the article includes references, endnotes are preferred as NCURA Magazine avoids the use of footnotes. The APA style has the author’s name and date in parentheses within the text, then an alphabetical listing of all references at the end of the paper. Please refer to the APA Publication Manual or the link above for specifics.
Upon publication a copy of the issue in which your article appears will be emailed to the email provided in the biography. Expectations for Possible Follow-Up
We encourage all of our authors to be available for content follow-up opportunities associated with the article submitted. These may include Ask the Authors Zoom discussions, YouTube videos, NCURA Collaborate discussions, etc.
