Research - Los Angeles, California, United States
Since its founding in 2013, the goal of The Undergraduate Research Journal of Psychology (URJP) has been to serve undergraduate students who are interested and involved in psychology-related research by providing a peer-reviewed platform that fosters a collaborative environment where undergraduates can receive mentorship from graduate students in psychology-related fields. Undergraduate authors are provided with the opportunity to share their work with peers and gain editorial feedback, while our UCLA undergraduate editorial committee members are provided with the opportunity to develop and refine their skills in critical thinking, reading, and evaluating research manuscripts.In addition to the annual publication, the URJP makes it a priority to host academic and professional development workshops for the URJP undergraduate staff and the larger UCLA undergraduate community. The mission of the URJP at UCLA is to empower undergraduate students to engage in and with research and facilitate scientific conversation and inquiry.
