Dissemination of results is a fundamental aspect of the scientific process and requires an avenue for publication that is specifically designed to suit the nature of the research being communicated. Undergraduate research journals provide a unique forum for students to report scientific findings and ideas while learning about the complete scientific process. We have developed a peer-reviewed, open-access, international undergraduate research journal that is linked to a course-based undergraduate research experience. We reflect on lessons learned and recommend effective approaches for the implementation and operation of a successful undergraduate research journal.
研究成果的传播是科学过程的一个基本方面，需要有专门为适应所传达研究的性质而设计的发表渠道。本科研究期刊为学生提供了一个独特的平台，让他们在了解完整科学过程的同时报告科学发现和想法。我们开发了一本经过同行评审、开放获取的国际本科研究期刊，该期刊与基于课程的本科研究经历相关联。我们反思了所学到的经验教训，并推荐了成功运营本科研究期刊的有效方法。
