Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research seeks submissions

The Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research (JPUR) is currently seeking research proposal submissions from Purdue undergraduates from any campus and all disciplines who have completed faculty-mentored research projects. The submission deadline for publication in Volume 13 (2023) is Feb. 15. Students should submit their proposals on the JPUR website. 

JPUR offers two opportunities for publication: full articles and research snapshots. Full articles are 2,500-3,500 words in length with a minimum of five images/diagrams; research snapshots are 250 words in length and function more as a summary or abstract, particularly of ongoing research. The proposal submission process is identical for both types, and students should indicate which publication format they prefer when submitting their proposal.

More information about required proposal components (four questions and an optional abstract) is available on the JPUR website. A successful proposal will speak clearly to a lay audience about the importance and interest of the research described and the student's role in the project. Student authors should check with their research supervisors before submitting proposals. If invited to submit an article, students will be asked to provide a signed approval for publication from their research supervisors.
