The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) is looking for student-authored articles about the undergraduate research experience. You may be their next published author! CUR is a national associate of colleges and universities working to expand undergraduate research and creative opportunities.

An upcoming issue of their national journal will focus on
“Students Voices in Undergraduate Research.” 

CUR has asked to hear from student authors who would like to write articles that focus on students' experiences engaging in undergraduate research. 

This could include topics such as

 ·        What other students, faculty, administrators or others should know about Undergraduate Research from the perspective of students
·        Advice and practical tips for students who want to do research
·        What every Undergraduate Research mentor should know
·        How to navigate and succeed at a summer undergraduate research experience (on your campus or at another campus)
·        How to conduct Undergraduate Research in a study abroad program
·        Perspectives on presenting at campus, regional, or national conferences 

To apply to contribute an article, you submit only a 300 - 500 word description of the points you would make. This is due by

June 1, 2012.

Decisions on invitations for full papers will be made by June 15. If you are invited to submit a full article, the final product 1500-2000 words, will be due on August 1.

 

This is not a UMBC publication. It is a national publication of the Council on Undergraduate Research. Follow the link below for details and an online application system.

I am a member of CUR and am happy to consult with students who plan to submit.
