Aletheia is one of the nation's few peer-reviewed journals for undergraduate scholarship. In keeping with the strong tradition of student involvement at all levels of Alpha Chi, this provides a forum for students to become actively involved in the writing, peer review, and publication process.

Submission Requirements

2. Submissions that are literature reviews or summaries of the work of others are unlikely to be published in Aletheia. 
3. Submitted manuscripts should contain only the unpublished work of undergraduate authors, and all authors should have contributed substantially to the work. Additional authors may be included, but the bulk of the work must have been accomplished by undergraduate authors. 
4. Permission to publish will be required from all authors on the final, accepted manuscript.
5. Submissions should be in English.
6. Authors assume responsibility for securing permission to publish any copyrighted material, including figures, tables, and other visuals, that are cited in the manuscript.
7. Submissions containing data from human or animal participants must document approval by the lead institution’s Institutional Review Board.
8. All work should be free from falsehood, fabricated or misleading data, plagiarism, or any form of dishonest
   scholarship.
9. If accepted, a submission will be published in the next Fall issue after it has been fully reviewed and prepared for publication.

Deadline for Manuscript Submissions
Submissions to the journal may be sent at any time. If accepted, a submission will be published in the next available issue after it has been fully reviewed and prepared for publication.
