UCLA Undergraduate Science Journal

supported by generous funding from the UCLA clinical and translational science institute (CTSI)

What is USJ?

The UCLA Undergraduate Science Journal is a peer-reviewed publication registered with the Library of Congress, featuring top-quality research performed by UCLA undergraduates in all STEM fields, including life sciences, engineering, statistics, physics, mathematics, and computer science. We aim to provide a multidisciplinary platform that allows students to publish their research and engage with the larger research community at UCLA and also involves students with the peer review process. Submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous peer review and publication process run completely by undergraduates.
