About the Journal

The University of North Carolina at Charlotte Undergraduate Research Journal (URJ) was an open-access and peer reviewed journal of scholarly work conducted by undergraduate students. The goals of this journal are to: 1) provide a platform through which undergraduate students who conduct novel research at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte may publish their work, 2) allow students on the review board to experience the peer review process, and 3) share research that is conducted at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with the Charlotte community and beyond. Manuscripts undergo a rigorous review process by a board of student and faculty reviewers. This journal accepted scholarly work from multiple disciplines. 

URJ published from 2021 to 2022. In 2025, the Office of Undergraduate Research transitioned to a new journal, ETHEL Undergraduate Research Journal. You can find new issues and submit manuscripts at etheljournal.com.
