The SFU Science Undergraduate Research Journal (SURJ) was founded in partnership with the SFU Science Undergraduate Society in 2015. Students have the ability to publish their work via three methods, depending on the work’s formality: SURJ’s annually published journal, their blog, or annual poster competition in the fall semester. The publications are open to students in any scientific discipline. Submissions can include but are not limited to research articles, review articles, op-eds, researcher interviews, and science photography. More information can be found on their website or by emailing at [email protected]. 

Undergraduate Journal of Philosophy

With support from its affiliated department, the SFU Philosophy Student Union heads the publication of the Undergraduate Journal of Philosophy. Previous essay publications have discussed topics such as liberal feminism, human rights, and accommodating religious freedoms. Submission information can be found on their website and the managing editor can be reached at [email protected]. 

The Criminology Post

The Criminology Post is a blog by and for students studying criminology. It features academic and non-academic pieces, including guidance for first-year students, final exam tips, and more. Current or past class assignments are not accepted. All content must be criminology related and all submissions are reviewed by the Criminology Student Association. Students can submit their pieces online through The Criminology Post’s website.

As a new zine, We Were Here, We Were Queer seeks to highlight the voices of LGBTQIA2S+ students at SFU and Fraser International College. They are funded by the Simon Fraser Student Society and Out On Campus. The first issue will focus on the feeling of being an outsider as a queer student. The zine will accept poetry, fiction and non-fiction pieces, and visual arts. All contributors will be compensated. For additional information, contact [email protected] or @sfu_wewerehere on Instagram.

Starting your own undergraduate student journal

If none of the aforementioned publications float your boat, consider starting a new publication! Students can work with SFU Library Digital Publishing to spearhead a new open-access journal, course journal, or student journal. Resources are available online via SFU Library.
