Any undergraduate student attending UC San Diego is allowed to submit their research. Additionally, students who have already graduated, but still wish to publish their research, are invited to submit their work, as long as submissions pertain to research done as an undergraduate.

By submitting a manuscript to The Equilibrium, the author(s) agree that the submitted work is entirely original and that all other authors, collaborators, and sources of information have been properly acknowledged. If it is the case that there is more than one author for a single submission, please have all parties claiming authorship submit a separate application.

The Equilibrium aims to provide an informative and enjoyable reading experience for members of the UC San Diego community across all disciplines. To this end, submissions must be written in a form accessible to readers outside of their respective disciplines. Research context, conceptual background, and specialized terminology should be clearly presented and explained in order to reach this broad audience.

Authors must communicate to the Chief Editors via email if the work represented has been previously submitted or published, or if the work will be submitted to or published in any other journal or publication within 60 days of submission to The Equilibrium.
