Journals for Undergraduate Research

If you are thinking about publishing your research, the first step you should take as a student is to speak to a faculty advisor, who will be familiar with the professional journals that might be appropriate outlets for your work. You may also want to consider publishing your work in a journal specifically dedicated to student research, such as those listed below. Your faculty advisor can help you weigh the pros and cons of the options available to you.
