student research
iNextResearcher is dedicated to supporting young scholars while upholding the highest standards of research integrity. Our goal is to make ethically sound, original student research open and discoverable — without compromising rigor or transparency.
Built for Learners, Grounded in Ethics
Our Core Principles
Original Thought & Honest Effort
All submissions must represent the contributor's own intellectual work and genuine inquiry.
Transparent Editorial Practices
Every manuscript undergoes fair, merit-based review with constructive feedback.
No Plagiarism or Ghostwriting
Plagiarism or use of ghostwriters will result in rejection and permanent disqualification.
Process Over Product
We value the research journey—curiosity, revision, and growth—over shortcuts or rushed outcomes.
Responsible Use of AI
AI may assist with grammar or clarity, but authors remain accountable for originality and accuracy.
Commitment to Open Access
All published research will be free to access, promoting global knowledge sharing.
Author Rights & Licensing
Authors keep copyright while allowing others to read, share, and build under an open license.
Equitable Participation
We welcome all researchers, supporting inclusivity in scholarly communication.
What We Stand For
Process Over Product
We value the thinking behind the writing—the effort, the revisions, the curiosity. Every published piece reflects a journey of inquiry, not just an endpoint.
We commit to creating a publishing environment where:
-
All submissions are the student's own intellectual work.
-
Students take full responsibility for the originality, accuracy, and sources used in their work.
-
Plagiarism or ghostwriting of any kind is not tolerated and will result in rejection and permanent disqualification from future submission.
-
Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be used to support the research process ethically (e.g., language and grammar refinement, profanity checks).
iNext Researcher exists to give every student a stage to explore, express, and excel.
Through case studies, original research, and creative writing, students engage in authentic scholarship and share their voice with the world. But with this opportunity comes the responsibility to uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct.
No Guarantees of Publication
Acceptance into our journal is based on the merit,
originality, and clarity of each
submission.
Every piece undergoes editorial review and feedback.
We do not offer paid
publication or guarantee acceptance.
