Canadian Journal of Undergraduate Research (CJUR)
We are a student-led, peer-reviewed journal that aims to provide Canadian undergraduate students of all disciplines the opportunity to publish their research.
CJUR was founded in 2015 by a group of undergraduate students at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. We operate under UBC’s Undergraduate Research Opportunities Club.
Our Publication Process
We accept submissions on a rolling basis. The submitted manuscript is first screened by our editorial board to assess general fit for the journal. Successful manuscripts are then reviewed by 2-3 volunteer faculty members and/or graduate students who evaluate the quality and rigour of the article. Any comments and/or constructive criticism from the reviewers are sent back to the author(s) for manuscript revision. CJUR implements two stages of the review process; following each stage, the reviewers and CJUR editorial board assess the manuscript’s suitability for publication. If deemed appropriate, the manuscript is copyedited and then typeset for eventual publication.
