Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research

The Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research publishes outstanding research by Purdue undergraduates and recent graduates from all disciplines who have completed faculty-mentored research projects at any Purdue University campus. The journal is run by students and provides young researchers with an avenue to their first scholarly publishing credit.

Each academic year, there are two deadlines for submissions to the annual volume. The fall deadline is November 15; the spring deadline is February 15. Submissions received after these deadlines will be considered for the following evaluation period.

JPUR offers two opportunities for publication: full articles and research snapshots. Full articles are 2,500-3,500 words in length with a minimum of five images/diagrams; research snapshots are 250 words in length and function more as a summary or abstract, particularly of ongoing research. The proposal submission process is identical for both types, and students should indicate which publication format they prefer when they submit their proposal.

More information about required proposal components is available at our website ( www.jpur.org ), but in general a successful proposal will speak clearly to a lay audience about the importance and interest of the research described, and the student's role in the project. Student authors should check with their research supervisors before submitting proposals. If invited to submit an article, students will be asked to submit a signed approval for publication from their research supervisors.

For more information, please contact the Journal Coordinator at   [email protected] , or visit our website at   www.jpur.org .

So what is involved in research? What would you be doing, exactly? Who would you be working with and in what capacity?

It all depends on your particular field of study.

• Those in the liberal arts, social sciences, business and economics might begin with researching journal articles on a particular subject.
• Sometimes you may be collecting data through interviews, observations or surveys, then analyzing that data to find patterns.
• Those in engineering or sciences may spend the bulk of their time conducting laboratory research, experiments, equipment and lab maintenance, and preparing samples.

Ultimately, the research approach you take depends on the questions you are trying to answer.

Undergraduate research is an exciting opportunity to get first-hand experience conducting research and developing valuable research skills that you can bring to your future courses or other professional endeavors.

This blog series, Putting the “Purdue” in Purdue University Press, is celebrating PUP’s 60th Anniversary by featuring the work the Press does in service to its parent institution. You can find the whole series here .

This post highlights the Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research.

The Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research (JPUR) is a fully open access journal publishing outstanding research papers written by Purdue undergraduate students. The journal is published annually in physical form, and online readers may freely read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of articles. The aim of JPUR is to encourage the development of undergraduate research at Purdue by showcasing the best work in a tangible, centralized, and public way.

The journal is run completely by Purdue undergraduate students, including a journal coordinator and robust Student Editorial Board. Behind the scenes the journal maintains a unique partnership with Purdue University Press and other departments in the Purdue University Libraries and School of Information Studies, as well as Marketing and Media and the Purdue Writing Lab. The publication of JPUR is sponsored by the Office of the Provost.

“A lot goes into the annual publication, and it has been really exciting to work with the Faculty Advisory Board, Student Editorial Board, Purdue Press staff, and the student authors from start to finish,” said Ethan Edwards, the current journal coordinator. “I read all the proposals, drafts, and finalized publications, which means I have been able to absorb a lot of interesting information about the research that happens at Purdue.”

The research published in the journal is separated into two main sections: articles and research snapshots. The full articles are 2,500–3,500 words in length and include a minimum of five images/diagrams, while the research snapshots are 250 words in length. Other sections include “Out of the Box,” which showcases hands-on or innovative research activities; interviews; and alumni spotlights, which demonstrate how publishing in JPUR as an undergraduate helped students in their later education or careers.

Any current or just-graduated Purdue University undergraduate or professional student engaged in research may submit a proposal at jpur.org. The submitted proposals are reviewed by experts in the discipline and in scholarly writing, as well as by the Faculty Advisory Board. Selected student authors are then invited to submit a full article or a research snapshot.

Edwards, who is a senior pursuing a civil engineering degree at Purdue, had the opportunity to publish with the journal prior to his role as journal coordinator.

“From my experience, I learned a great deal about the scholarly publishing process and was able to improve my writing skills by gaining direct feedback on my work,” Edwards said. “Publishing in the journal also helped me establish a better connection with my faculty mentor and graduate student advisor by working closely with them for feedback. Although it may seem daunting for first-time authors, the satisfaction of seeing your work published to a broad audience both online and in print is absolutely worth it. It is also a great way to show graduate schools, employers, and others your willingness to take the next step with your research.”

You can now access JPUR Volume 10 at jpur.org or wait to pick up a free physical copy from the shelves across from the Purdue University Press office in Stewart Center.

Student Experiences

Adam Barmash Rubinchik

Junior in Health Sciences

Rubinchik has focused his research experience on the effects the Chlorpyrifos pesticide has on human cortical cells to understand how these exposures can affect human health. “Honestly, research is probably one of the most exciting parts about science, in my personal opinion. You get to experiment, be creative and really drive your own ideas into reality.”

Sarah Haasar

Sophomore in Nutrition Science

In her research experience , Haasar has become an expert at guessing the weights of certain foods before they touch the scale as she prepares meals to examine how different amounts of nutrients affect the human body. “It’s a great opportunity. I’m part of the research — behind the scenes getting the functional skills that are transferable to something higher.”

Madeleine Strom

Aligning with her career aspirations, Strom’s research project investigates how the human brain responds to various toxins by using microelectrode arrays to examine brain cells. “I find this research very interesting because it’s related to what I want to do in the future, and I found new passions after joining this lab. I look forward to learning more by doing research. I get to see firsthand how different processes and actually get to analyze the data we find.”

Shreya Sridhar

Junior in Public Health and Pre-Medicine

I’m currently an undergraduate researcher in Dr. Huber’s Motor Speech Lab in the Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences, where I study Parkinson’s disease (PD). We focus on analyzing the cognitive and motor impairments caused by PD in older individuals. In the lab, we listen to Parkinsonian speech and collect corresponding data from different research studies to better understand how to improve PD symptoms. As a new student in the lab, I learned the most by asking questions and challenging myself with different tasks as well as building personal and professional relationships with the undergraduate students, graduate students and lab assistants!

William Mahoney

Junior in Health Sciences, Pre-Professional

My research focuses on mapping neurotransmitters in the insular cortex in response to pain. In Uzay Emir’s lab, we use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as well as magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) as our main tools for data acquisition. We produce images of the brain and other body components and then determine and study metabolite concentrations within those images. Learning the basics of MRI as well as comparing and analyzing data from scans never ceases to be fascinating and provides a unique learning experience I can apply to future aspirations and projects. Learning about other research being conducted at Purdue and collaborating with professors, graduate students and other undergraduate students has been an engaging and a beneficial experience that is difficult to find anywhere else.

Jackie Meade

Junior in Hospitality and Tourism Management

I analyze secondary academic sources to understand more about urban exploration and elements of inequality in urban exploration. I have had the opportunity to present research findings at three different undergraduate research conferences. Research during the time of a pandemic has taught me a lot about being flexible and working around challenges.

Discovery Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Research Internship program seeks faculty proposals for fall 2024 session

Proposals are now being accepted from faculty on the West Lafayette campus for the Discovery Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Research Internship (DUIRI) program, which supports faculty-led teams of undergraduates to investigate problems in the strategic areas of global security, global health and global sustainability.

Faculty project proposals for fall 2024 should focus on these thematic areas. Each project should involve two or more distinct academic disciplines (represented by faculty from different departments) and undergraduate students. No faculty cost-sharing will be required. 

DUIRI will partner with the Institute for a Sustainable Future (ISF),   Regenstrief Center for Healthcare Engineering (RCHE) , and the Lilly Purdue Research Center (LPRC) this spring. ISF, RCHE and LPRC will sponsor multiple projects in global sustainability and global health, respectively, that align with their current research areas. Projects suitable for partnering with these entities should explicitly state “ISF” or “RCHE” or “LPRC” in the title. Faculty actively engaged with a partnering institute will receive priority consideration in sponsored research areas.

Interested faculty can submit abstracts for individual projects at the DUIRI website , using their Purdue Career account credentials to log on. The deadline for proposal submissions is June 7.

Undergraduate students may then apply for three projects from June 26 to July 12. Faculty project supervisors will review all eligible student applications before making final selections. The deadline for selecting students will be July 26. Students will pursue their research projects during the fall term, beginning Aug. 19. Their internship will culminate with a poster presentation and one-page abstract/summary of their results. Assuming all requirements are met, each participating student will earn a $1,000 fall semester fellowship from the DUIRI program that will be credited to their bursar account.

More information is available on the DUIRI website . Faculty should direct any questions about the program to Peter Bermel at [email protected] . Students should contact Kate Mitsch at [email protected] .

Purdue Veterinary Student Achieves Research Milestone as a Journal Article First Author

Make a gift support the college.

Congratulations are in order for fourth-year veterinary student Kelsey D’Amico (DVM Class of 2025), who reached a rare milestone in veterinary medicine as the first author on a research paper that just recently was accepted for publication by the Journal of Dairy Science.  The article is entitled, “A randomized, controlled trial examining quarter-level somatic cell count and culture-based selective dry cow therapy against blanket dry cow therapy on early-lactation production outcomes.”

Kelsey’s co-authors on the paper include Dr. Ralph Neves, assistant professor of food animal production medicine and section head for the Purdue University Veterinary Hospital Bovine Field Service; Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences ( VCS ) graduate student J. M. Grantz; VCS graduate student Natnicha Taechachokevivat; and Dr. Andy Hubner, clinical assistant professor of Farm Animal Field Services.  Dr. Hubner said the research paper dates back to the summer of 2022, when the actual sample collection was done.

“The work was not in conjunction with any program, it was work that Kelsey participated in as a summer employee of the Bovine Field Service,” Dr. Hubner explained.  “Then she decided to ‘own’ the project.”  Kelsey presented the work at the last American Association of Bovine Practitioners (AABP) national meeting and won the student presentation award.  “She then asked if she could write the paper,” Dr. Hubner said.  “It is extremely rare for a veterinary student to take that on during their veterinary training and publish a first-author publication.”

Dr. Hubner said understanding the scientific process is extremely important for food animal veterinarians.  “Doing a large-scale research project – one with over 800 enrollments – teaches students invaluable skills that cannot be gained elsewhere in the curriculum.  It teaches them how to balance published literature with clinical experience, in order to make the best herd-level decisions for their future clients.”  Dr. Hubner noted that some veterinary schools abroad require research as part of their veterinary curriculum in order to teach students this concept.  “While our curriculum does not require this in order to graduate, once Kelsey started the project she recognized that by seeing the project all the way through to the end, she would learn valuable lessons that could not be gained elsewhere,” Dr. Hubner said.
