Journal of Northeastern University does not accept resources from other schools, and its submission requires clear arguments, reliable data, strict logic and concise words. Each paper must include the title, author's name, author's unit, unit location and postal code, abstract and keywords, text, references and brief introduction of the first author and correspondent (usually tutor) (including name, gender, professional title, date of birth, degree obtained, current main work and research direction).

The main columns of Journal of Northeastern University (Natural Science Edition) include information science and engineering, materials and metallurgy, mechanical engineering, resources and civil engineering, management science, mathematics, physics and chemistry.
