PURM: Perspectives on Undergraduate Research and Mentoring

PURMis a distinctive journal that focuses on scholarship about undergraduate research and the mentoring of such research. Unlike existing forums that typically discuss undergraduate research and mentoring from a discipline-specific lens, PURM provides opportunities to be involved in a multidisciplinary journal with a focus on mentoring undergraduate research.

Involvement in PURM offers both faculty and students the opportunity to shape the direction of the conversation in this emerging community and to bring our students further into both a disciplinary and multidisciplinary perspective through the mentorship avenues the journal offers. We actively encourage the involvement of undergraduate researchers and their mentors in both the authoring and reviewing of submissions to PURM. The journal staff welcomes submissions authored by undergraduate researchers alone or in collaboration with their faculty mentors or peers on all topics germane to undergraduate research and the mentoring of such research.
