The Journal of Unique and Crazy Ideas (JUCI) publishes concise, single-page idea papers that describe an original thought and a plausible path to testing or implementing it. JUCI exists for the ideas that are too short, too unconventional, or too interdisciplinary for traditional journals — and too interesting to stay in a notebook.

Scope. All disciplines are in scope. We welcome submissions from, but not limited to:

• Natural and physical sciences (physics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences, astronomy)
• Engineering, computing, and emerging technology (AI, robotics, materials, energy)
• Medicine, public health, and life sciences
• Agriculture, food, environment, and sustainability
• Social sciences, economics, education, and policy
• Arts, humanities, design, architecture, and philosophy
• Cross-disciplinary mash-ups that don’t fit any single category

What counts as a “crazy idea”? Anything original, specific, and implementable in principle. It does not need preliminary data. It does need to be your own idea, clearly expressed, and honest about its assumptions.

What we don’t publish. Full-length empirical studies, literature reviews, opinion pieces without a concrete idea, pseudoscience, or content that is plagiarised, hateful, or unsafe.
