Learning through Publishing The Pi Sigma Alpha Undergraduate Journal of Politics

In: PS: political science & politics, Band 42, Heft 3, S. 565-569

Abstract

ABSTRACTPublishing a research journal can be a rewarding and useful learning experience for undergraduate students. Drawing upon our experiences with The Pi Sigma Alpha Undergraduate Journal of Politics, we describe the benefits of producing a peer-reviewed journal. Among the benefits we highlight are gains in political science knowledge, increased understanding of research methodologies, refinement of writing and debating skills, and development of interpersonal skills. We close with a call for professors to encourage their students to submit papers to the journal.
