The Journal of Non-Significant Differences is a student led, peer-reviewed journal designed to highlight the value of non-significant research findings while providing learners with a comprehensive understanding of the research cycle and the publication process. Central to the journal is an understanding that research does not have to be significant to provide valuable insight into ongoing scholarship. As such, articles are evaluated according to the soundness of the research process and the ability to contextualize the importance of non-significant findings.

Underlying the mission, vision and scope of JNSD is the belief that research is a process of inquiry; hypotheses are not proven, they are tested. As such, there is value in the outcome of solid empirical research regardless of the level of significance found through statistical analysis.

Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for possible publication in the Journal of Non-Significant Differences. JNSD publishes original material highlighting postsecondary (undergraduate,graduate or doctoral) student research. Recent graduates from undergraduate, masters, or doctoral programs that completed their research as students may also submit papers based on their student research.

As is the nature of refereed journals, acceptance and publication of original manuscripts is a competitive process.JNSD publishes one volume per year. Submissions are accepted on an open, rolling basis at any time, up to the final submission date of August 1st of each year. Volumes are published online at the JNSD website in April of each year.
