Read. Publish. Be Inspired.
This is JOURney, the Journal Of Undergraduate Research at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.
JOURney is registered with the Library of Congress (ISSN 3066-3814).
Research Excellence.
Our annual journal is dedicated to the publication of outstanding faculty-mentored research conducted by current undergraduate students. We publish research in the disciplines of natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Our goal is to celebrate and support the original research conducted early in students’ academic careers that reflects appropriate scope and complexity for excellent undergraduate work.
By Students, For Students.
Sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Research, the JOURney editorial board is student-run, comprised of a team of undergraduates from different backgrounds. Editors review and select papers for the annual journal, collaborating with accepted authors to polish and prepare their work for publication.
Interdisciplinary.
The journal curates a selection of articles that not only showcase the diversity of research being done on campus, but also highlight connections across different fields. By providing a platform for students to share their findings, we invite the reader to learn about different research and creatively think about apparent and hidden connections. We hope our journal will leave people with more knowledge and appreciation for local, national, and international issues.
