Young Scholars in Writing: Undergraduate Research in Writing and Rhetoric is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes research articles by undergraduates of all majors and years on the subjects of rhetoric, writing, writers, discourse, language, and related topics.
For volume 19, the publication is accepting the following types of submissions by April 16.
- original research articles
- comments and responses to previous YSW articles
- methodological reflections (detailed narrative and reflection about an experience using empirical method that is in conversation with the literature on methods)
- Spotlight on First-Year Writing articles (research by students in first-year college writing courses)
The YSW editors are eager to support undergraduate research in writing and rhetoric and are available to Zoom into your classes to discuss research and publication in YSW with your students. Just send an email (youngscholars.editor@gmail.com) to let them know if you’d like to schedule a virtual meeting.
