Notes

Abstract: The purpose of this research was to identify existing undergraduate student research journals that are published in an electronic format and to survey their characteristics. In reviewing existing lists of journals as well as searching the internet for additional journals, I found 41 in the United States and one in Canada. 73.8% of the journals were based at one institution, but 52.4% would accept papers from students at any institution. The modal journal accepted papers from only one discipline (40.5%) while 35.7% would accept papers from any discipline. Among the journals accepting papers from only one discipline, the most common single discipline was psychology (7.1%) followed by economics (4.8%) and political science (4.8%). Students were heavily involved in the editing process; 52.4% of the journals had a student as editor-in-chief while 47.6% had a student as managing editor. Faculty were commonly working with students at least as advisors. Only 23.8% of journals were edited entirely by students.
