The Harvard Undergraduate Research Journal (THURJ) is Harvard's sole peer-reviewed undergraduate research journal, publicizing and spreading recognition of original work by undergraduates in Harvard’s undergraduate programs. THURJ also serves as an ambassador of Harvard's undergraduate research activities at a university more known for its graduate programs. This is especially important as Harvard seeks to expand its image as an institution devoted to providing the very best opportunities for its undergraduates, especially in relation to research. THURJ showcases peer-reviewed undergraduate student research from all research disciplines, including the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities.
