What about undergraduate journals? Are they merit-worthy in any way?

Hi all,

As an independent study (undergraduate research), I was looking for funding from a state Science Academy and thinking about potentially writing and publishing a manuscript into an educator-reviewed undergraduate journal (I didn’t know these existed).

While an undergrad journal is nothing comparable to a professional academic journal, would successfully publishing in a UGR journal be worth any merit?

The research my group and I were hoping to do is not medical science, but “material science.” As an aspirant MD/PhD student, I was hoping such an achievement would at least showcase, in a sense, my ability to construct scientific works toward the advancement of a discipline.

Any thoughts or advice?

Thank you in advance.

Not really.

they’re Basically equivalent to any old research experience. They aren’t anywhere near getting published in a peer reviewed journal
