The Journal For Undergraduate Research Opportunities

UGA's Online Undergraduate Research Journal for the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences

The Journal for Undergraduate Research Opportunities is an undergraduate research journal dedicated to promoting research as a part of the undergraduate experience by providing undergraduates an opportunity to publish their work. The staff of the journal is primarily composed of undergraduates, and all work published is the product of undergraduate research.

The Journal for Undergraduate research opportunities at the University of Georgia is one of the nation's only undergraduate research journals for the arts, humanities, and social sciences. JURO@GA has been recognized nationally for providing an outlet for underrepresented areas of undergraduate research. JURO@GA was founded as part of a greater undergraduate research program at the University of Georgia and primarily publishes scholarship of UGA students who participate in UGA's state-wide undergraduate research symposium. Each year, an issue is released highlighting undergraduate research at the UGA, and special issues include a variety of topics and research from other institutions. JURO@GA has been listed by many organizations, including the Council on Undergraduate Research, as a space of notable undergraduate scholarship.

JURO@GA was founded in 2001 as part of the Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities at the University of Georgia. Seeking to build a place for less represented undergraduate research, JURO@GA established itself as one of the nation's premier undergraduate research journals for the arts and the humanities. Using the web as its medium, JURO has included extensive multimedia elements, including streaming audio and video. The undergraduate JURO staff is under the direction of Dr. Pamela Kleiber, an associate director of the UGA Honors Program.

JURO@GA is an integral part of the undergraduate research community at UGA. Currently it publishes the best works from the CURO symposium. JURO@GA often serves as a stepping stone for further research publication and scholarship. Today many of the authors are pursuing further scholarship in America's best PhD programs. JURO@GA continues to challenge the conventional boundaries of a research journal. It is currently expanding its horizons to include mixed media, drama and dance. Its staff is composed of undergraduate students from a variety of disciplines who are actively involved in many extra and co-curricular activities. After graduation, many former staff members have gone on to graduate school at leading universities.
