This project/presentation is about a new NYIT Undergraduate Research Journal we are creating. The New York Tech Undergraduate Research Journal (NYTURJ) is an online, Open Access, and peer-reviewed journal that will annually publish compelling and rigorous multidisciplinary undergraduate research to promote scholarly activities at the undergraduate level. The New York Tech Journal aims to nurture research at the undergraduate level within all disciplines. It is a place for students, researchers, and members of the community to present their achievements while appreciating others. We encourage students to go beyond the boundaries of the classroom while providing a forum for the exchange of new ideas and research. Our journal will be run entirely by a staff team of New York Tech undergraduate students along with established faculty reviewers. All submitted papers will go through an extensive review by the New York Tech Undergraduate Research Journal’s team of editors and reviewers, who will subsequently deliberate and select the best-submitted papers for publication. Our editors work closely with chosen authors to polish their papers to ensure that the author’s ideas and discoveries are of the highest quality possible. After review, they will be published under one of NYTURJ’s two sections: Natural Sciences & Engineering and Humanities & Social Sciences. We are planning to present our progress at SOURCE, and present it to faculty and other researchers.
