We strive for ‘SciXplore’ to be a platform for students and STEM enthusiasts across the world to share their experiences, ideas and talents with the rest of the community. To achieve this objective, we encourage all undergraduate students fascinated by the sciences to write for us.
To see your work published on our website, mail your article/s to ugstempeers@gmail.com.
(Please note that we accept articles only from undergraduate students. If you are a post graduate student keen on writing about STEM, we urge you to check out Club SciWri’s official website.)
You can contribute to our website by writing for the following features:
- Tales of Science- You may write about the history and scientific journey of any individual/s that have been instrumental in shaping any scientific field as we know it today. You may also write the stories of award winning scientists who have inspired you.
- Decrypted- Under this feature, you may write any article that simplifies any landmark research paper that has changed the existing paradigm of the field. We request you to mail us the details of the paper you have aimed to simplify along with the article that you submit.
- Internships/Projects- Under this feature, you may submit a report about any scientific internship or project you were/are a part of or an article highlighting your experiences working on a scientific project. The aim of this feature is to bring to light the various opportunities in STEM for students. Hence, we urge students who have had the privilege to work on any scientific project or at a laboratory/institution to share their experiences with the rest of the community.
- Bazinga- If you like challenging others about any science related topic, this is the feature for you. You may submit scientific quizzes, crosswords, puzzles or any other piece of work that makes science fun for you.
- Xplore- You may submit any article that does not fit any of the above categories for this feature. This could include review articles about insightful topics, articles about any recent events or ongoing research, book reviews, poems or any other form of writing that help you express your interests in STEM.
General Guidelines:
- Mail all articles to ugstempeers@gmail.com.
- All articles submitted to us will undergo a plagiarism check. Hence, we urge all writers to minimize the direct use of phrases or sentences from other works. As far as possible, paraphrase and explain concepts in your own words.
- If you wish to attach any image/illustration to your article, ensure that it is either an open source image or an image created/taken by you. Mention the complete URL of the website you have retrieved your image from at the end of the article. Authors will be fully responsible for the images they send.

If you are unable to find an appropriate open source image for your article, write to us on the email id provided.
- Mention all your references at the end of your article. Your references should be in the APA (7th Edition) format. However, if you are unsure on how to reference in this format you can simply list the complete URLS of the pages that you have retrieved information from. If you have referred to literature that you were unable to find online, kindly mention the name, author(s) and date of publication of the article/book/magazine.
