CALL FOR UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH PAPERS

Are you looking for a platform to publish your work?

If so, The Undergraduate Research Journal of Psychology at UCLA (URJP) WANTS YOU to submit your papers for our annual publication, expected to be released Spring 2026.

URJP is an organization dedicated to informing the community of psychological findings through research run by undergraduates from all over the world. Last year, we received submissions from both local and international universities. URJP is one of the few established psychology journals that publishes undergraduate psychological research.

Submitted papers must fulfill the requirements below:
