CALL FOR UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH PAPERS

Have you completed a research paper in a psychology-related field (i.e. psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, linguistics)?

Are you looking for a platform to publish your work?

If so, The Undergraduate Research Journal of Psychology at UCLA (URJP) WANTS YOU to submit your papers for our annual publication, expected to be released Spring 2016.

URJP is an organization dedicated to informing the community of psychological findings through research run by undergraduates from all universities. Last year, we received 109+ submissions ranging from local to international universities. URJP is one of the few established psychology journals that publish undergraduate psychological research in the country.

To submit, the papers must fulfill the requirements below:

·  Original work completed by undergraduates (Includes senior honors theses, independent research, reviews, theoretical papers, and other scholarly writing)

·  Never before been published

If you have not completed an independent research project, we still encourage you to apply by submitting a “literature review article” or “stepping stone article” which does not require access to research data.

The deadline to submit papers is October 31, 2015. Multiple submissions from one author are welcome. If you would like to submit an article for consideration, please complete the following:

·  Replace any identifying information (i.e. author name, institution) with empty brackets, to ensure anonymity within the selection process
