Undergraduate Research Journals

Descriptions are adapted from wording found at the sites

Journal of Undergraduate Sciences

JUS is a peer reviewed scientific journal dedicated to original research done by undergraduates and high school students. Published by students in collaboration with professors, it contains articles in a wide variety of fields, from astronomy to zoology.

JUS welcomes submissions from any student at the undergraduate level who is engaged in research in any scientific or science-related discipline. Articles are reviewed by the JUS academic board, with advice and guidance from faculty and graduate students. The editors determine the suitability of an article for publication based on the comments and recommendations of the academic board.

Journal of Young Scientists

JYI is a peer reviewed scientific web journal dedicated to the presentation of undergraduate research in science, mathematics, and engineering. It publishes the best submissions from undergraduates, with an emphasis on both the quality of research and the manner in which it is communicated. Students working with their faculty advisors review the work of their peers and determine whether that work is acceptable for publication in JYI.

Caltech Undergraduate Research Journal

The Caltech Undergraduate Research Journal is written for undergraduates everywhere. Original work, entertaining writing, stunning production. In its premiere issue, CURJ presents an exciting composite of reviews, research, and art. Remember why you enjoy science in the first place. CURJ accepts submissions from any undergraduate in the world.

Journal of Undergraduate Study and Independent Research

JUSIR is a science journal accepting submissions from undergraduates and select high school students, allowing them to display their high-quality independent research to a wide audience. Papers in any field within the natural sciences, psychology, engineering, and social sciences will be considered.

Furman University Electronic Journal of Undergraduate Mathematics

The Furman University Electronic Journal of Undergraduate Mathematics is an online-only journal designed to encourage undergraduate research in the field of mathematics. Its online nature allows quick publishing of mathematics papers, giving undergraduate students an opportunity to see their work published prior to their graduation.

The Journal accepts papers of significant mathematical interest written by students and containing work done prior to obtaining a Bachelor's degree. Papers of all types will be considered, including technical, historical, and expository papers. Typically, papers will have been written as part of a summer research experience or school project. Any paper submitted by an undergraduate must have the approval of a sponsor, a full-time faculty member willing to endorse the student's work. The sponsor is largely responsible for ensuring the quality and veracity of the student's work. The sponsor's name and school will appear with the paper along with the student's name. The editorial board of the Journal reserves the right to reject any paper.

Morehead Electronic Journal of Applications in Mathematics

The Morehead Electronic Journal of Applicable Mathematics (MEJAM) is a refereed, interdisciplinary journal sponsored by Morehead State University. It publishes the work of undergraduate students in any discipline. Papers will typically be the result of summer research programs, internships, or other school projects.

MEJAM accepts papers that are outside the realm of the typical undergraduate curriculum and that emphasize the applicability of mathematics while maintaining significant mathematical interest. Papers may be historical, expository, or completely original in nature but must adhere to strict academic standards and should explore some aspect of the applications of mathematics.

National Undergraduate Research Clearinghouse

Any unpublished scientific research that was conducted when the author was an undergraduate may be submitted, including empirical studies and literature reviews. Interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged. A registered faculty member must agree to sponsor the manuscript.
