“…Undergraduate journals have a positive effect on students, encouraging them to develop an interest in and an understanding of the research process (Bauer et al 2009;Metcalfe 2007;Smith et al 2009;Watcke and Winterfield 1979) and inspiring students to do their highest-quality work (Charlesworth and Foster 1996). Participating in the undergraduate journal process enables students to gain experience in the research and writing process (Metcalfe 2007), enhances knowledge and writing skills (Bauer et aland increases scientific literacy (Smith et al 2009).…”

“…According to Osborn and Karukstis (2009), "undergraduate research provides the most natural, and perhaps best, opportunity for faculty members to deeply engage students" by enhancing mentoring and teaching opportunities; achieving research, scholarly, and creative outcomes; and integrating scholarship and teaching (4)(5). Colleges and universities benefit because undergraduate research promotes the development of a community of scholars on campus, deepens faculty relationships with alumni, and provides the academic community with a shared sense of purpose and attainment (2009,(7)(8).…”

“…4 In two of these cases, however, all or nearly all submissions come from undergraduates at the respective journal's host institution. Opening submission to all undergraduates can raise the profile of your institution, but it requires substantially greater resources to manage the advertising, editing, and review process.…”

Previous research indicates that undergraduate research activities promote student-faculty collaborations and have a positive impact on students, faculty, and institutions. A review of 13 active undergraduate political science journals indicates that these publications take a variety of approaches in format, frequency, and submission requirements. Further, a survey of undergraduate political science journal editors shows that the role of students and faculty and the sources of support for journal publication vary considerably. Finally, case studies of the undergraduate journal experience at three different institutions suggest that political science journals promote student engagement and studentfaculty collaboration.

“…Students who participate in UR programs often have the opportunity to formally publish the research outputs that they create, including journal articles. There is some disagreement about where undergraduate work should be published, as national disciplinary journals often offer more readership (Burks & Chumchal, 2009;Bauer, Ogas, Shakir, Oxley, & Clawson, 2009). However, this position might be shortsighted, as the creation of undergraduate journals also provides an opportunity for students to manage and edit journal publications.…”

INTRODUCTION Library publishing programs continue to play an increasingly important role in educating their constituents. In particular, library publishers that support undergraduate student journals often provide guidance to students on both mechanical and conceptual issues related to publishing. This article presents a case study for developing a one-credit-hour course to support an undergraduate student journal publication, the Indiana University Journal of Undergraduate Research (IUJUR), at Indiana University Bloomington. DESCRIPTION OF COURSE The course is offered every fall as a mechanism for onboarding about thirty new undergraduate editors. The course was developed and taught by a librarian and an undergraduate student in consultation with IU's Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education. Course curriculum touches on topics that scholarly communication and information literacy librarians alike can adapt for a variety of educational contexts, including authentic activities for understanding peer review models and applying publishing innovations. ASSESSMENT The article details both the formative and summative assessment strategies the instructor utilized to gauge student understanding of key publishing concepts. The summative assessment utilizes pre-and post-tests and extends previous library literature to evaluate students' actual understanding of publishing concepts in addition to their perceived understanding and confidence. LIMITATIONS AND NEXT STEPS The course curriculum will continue to grow and change in order to accommodate students' misconceptions and interests.

Whereas there is a substantial body of scholarship assessing the merits of student journals, and an equally sizable amount of how-to-publish advice for students in higher education, there is little empirical research exploring the content of disciplinary student publications. To gain a sense of what political science students are publishing, this study examines articles in three peer-reviewed student journals of politics between 2005 and 2015: The Pi Sigma Alpha Undergraduate Journal of Politics, Critique, and Politikon. Content analysis reveals the nature of published student work by subfield, methodology, and topic, with findings discussed in the context of research trends in the profession and the debate about advantages and disadvantages of student journal publishing.
