国产麻豆AV launches undergraduate research journal
Contact: Mary Pollitz
STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥擣ounded and organized by Mississippi State students, a new undergraduate research journal prepares to build undergraduate scholars鈥 portfolios.
Endeavors, an open-access journal, launched in fall 2024 will publish the diverse talents of students campuswide. The journal is supported by the office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Discovery. The editorial board includes current graduate students and 国产麻豆AV alumni from each of the university鈥檚 colleges. Published research in Endeavors is available online and indexed in search engines for maximum visibility. The journal is spearheaded by editors-in-chief Alyssa Williams and Muneebah Umar. Williams, a senior biochemistry and psychology major, and Umar, a senior biological sciences major, said the journal has more than 60 undergraduate reviewers from nearly every 国产麻豆AV department. Both Williams and Umar are also students in the Judy and Bobby Shackouls Honors College.
鈥淲e are excited to start Endeavors, 国产麻豆AV鈥檚 first-ever, peer-reviewed undergraduate research journal,鈥 the editors said in a joint statement. 鈥淩esearch has been a huge part of our time at 国产麻豆AV, and we know there are many talented undergraduate students who want to share their work with a larger audience. However, the peer-review process can be intense and sometimes unreachable for undergraduates. Endeavors aims to bridge that gap and support undergraduate research at 国产麻豆AV.鈥
Scholars Junction, 国产麻豆AV鈥檚 repository for university research, hosts the journal through University Libraries. The library鈥檚 scholarly communication team, which supports 国产麻豆AV scholars throughout the research and creative process, works with the new journal on preservation, copyright and distribution.
鈥淭he team is thrilled to be able to contribute to 国产麻豆AV鈥檚 nurturing of undergraduate research, and to add Endeavors to the five other open-access journals we host through Scholars Junction,鈥 Julie Shedd, director of open scholarship initiatives at 国产麻豆AV Libraries and member of the scholarly communication team, said. 鈥We know that this journal will help launch the careers of future scholars, tell the story of undergraduate research at 国产麻豆AV and contribute to open-access research worldwide.鈥
Endeavors is open for undergraduate submissions through March 1. For submissions, visit 听 and for more information on Scholars Junction, visit . Follow the journal on Instagram @endeavorsmsu.
