The UJCD encourages undergraduate scholarship by facilitating the development and use of undergraduate publications and conferences.  The UJCD lists journals, electronic and paper, and conferences, that will consider undergraduate student essays, research papers, poetry, short fiction, photography, cartoons, art, etc., without regard to the undergraduate student’s institutional affiliation. We regularly visit journal and conference web sites and eliminate those that appear to have ceased publishing and whose web sites are badly out of date.  The UJCD currently lists 38 different undergraduate publications and several conferences.
