Pittsburgh Undergraduate Review

The Pittsburgh Undergraduate Review (PUR) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed online journal where students can publish their Frederick Honors affiliated research and creative work. 

We publish undergraduate student submissions in four categories: research, creative writing, visual arts, and reviews. Submissions are taken from all disciplines but must consist of work done under the guidance of a reputable faculty mentor and/or through a sponsored university program. If you are a student hoping to publish your work with the PUR, take a moment to review our website, where you can find submission guidelines and requirements.

If you have any questions or need guidance about the journal, our editorial board, pur@pitt.edu, and research program staff, fhcresearchinfo@groups.pitt.edu, are here to assist you.
