Whether your research leads to an essay, poetry, or scientific
report, you have many opportunities to publish your work in reviewed,
national, professional journals or other outlets.
If you wish to
publish, you should first talk to your Faculty Mentor. In some
areas, their advice is the best. For example, there are hundreds
of scientific journals available in a diversity of fields and submitting
your work to one of these journals would be in your best interests.
However, there are also journals available that specialize in publishing
the results of undergraduate research and creative projects. The
major journals in this area are:
Undergraduate
Research Community
The URC Undergraduate Research Journal is an annual online
national, reviewed journal dedicated to the publication of undergraduate
student research. The twofold purpose of the journal is to foster
and reward the scholarly efforts of undergraduate human sciences
students as well as to provide a valuable learning experience. The
articles represent primarily the work of the undergraduate student(s).
Faculty members, who deserve recognition, are identified by an asterisk
next to their names.
The articles published in this journal will reflect appropriate
scope and complexity for excellent undergraduate work. The basis
for accepting papers for publication is the agreement among three
reviewers (two professionals and one peer) that the project and design
are strong representatives of introductory level research.
