What is USJ?

Registered with the Library of Congress

Advised by the UCLA Undergraduate Research Center–Sciences

Great opportunity for undergraduates to get published

Peer-reviewed Publication

The UCLA Undergraduate Science Journal is a peer-reviewed publication registered with the Library of Congress, featuring top-quality research performed by UCLA undergraduates in all STEM fields, including life sciences, engineering, statistics, physics, mathematics, and computer science. We provide a multidisciplinary platform that allows students to publish their research, participate in the peer review, editorial, and layout processes of a scientific journal, and engage with the larger research community at UCLA. Submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous peer review and publication process run completely by undergraduates.

Staffed by Undergraduates

The USJ is reviewed, edited, and designed by a group of around 60 talented UCLA undergraduate students. We recruit every year in the fall.
