Student Journals – Publishing opportunities for students

I was asked by a student whether there are also journals in which undergraduate students can publish their results. Yes there are, lots of them!

Below you will find a list with many journals, organized by topic. Many of these are specifically geared towards undergraduate students, others are not but are also open to undergraduate students. I have included only journals that are published in English.

Currently the list is very focused on undergraduate student journals in the USA, I will add more from other regions as well. A librarian at your university library may be able to help you find additional journals. Please let me know in case any journal is missing from this list so I can add it.
