 Journal of Undergraduate Research now Accepting Submissions Did you know that KU has its very own undergraduate research journal? The Journal of Undergraduate Research is now accepting submissions from all undergraduates for publication in the 2013 edition. This is a great venue for students to share the products of their scholarship. The deadline for submissions is May 24. The Journal accepts the following types of work: - Research Briefs/ Artist Statements (1-4 pages): These shorter documents provide a concise overview of your project, and are often reports about projects in-progress or a shorter paper for a class. Artist statements will be submitted along with images, and should explain the methods, themes, and inspiration of your work.
- Full manuscripts (7-25 pages): These longer documents offer a fuller exploration of a topic than a research brief, and are often the results of a larger class paper, capstone project, or senior thesis.
