Focus and Coverage
The Journal of Undergraduate Reports in Physics (JURP) is a peer-reviewed, online journal of the Society of Physics Students (SPS) and Sigma Pi Sigma, the physics honor society. JURP is devoted to archiving scholarly works conducted by undergraduate students in physics, astronomy, and its related fields. JURP is designed to be a vehicle for the exchange of ideas and information by undergraduate students and a way for faculty to share scholarly works conducted by undergraduates. Papers in experimental physics, theoretical physics, or educational research in physics are welcome.
