Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research
The Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research publishes outstanding research by Purdue undergraduates and recent graduates from all disciplines who have completed faculty-mentored research projects at any Purdue University campus. The journal is run by students and provides young researchers with an avenue to their first scholarly publishing credit.
Each academic year, there are two deadlines for submissions to the annual volume. The fall deadline is November 15; the spring deadline is February 15. Submissions received after these deadlines will be considered for the following evaluation period.
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 they submit their proposal.
More information about required proposal components is available at our website (www.jpur.org), but in general 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 submit a signed approval for publication from their research supervisors.
