How volunteerism and relationships affect empathy, and the effect of tourism and national parks and protected areas on African countries are among topics covered in the 11th edition of the University of Guelph’s electronic journal of undergraduate research.
SURG (Studies by Undergraduate Researchers at Guelph) highlights studies by undergraduate students from all disciplines on campus and introduces students to academic publishing. The electronic journal is one of few such journals in Canada.
The current issue was recently released online and contains eight peer-reviewed papers and reviews.
The refereed publication was developed by the Office of Research with the McLaughlin Library. It involves students and an advisory board with some of the University’s top researchers.
The journal accepts original research articles and reviews, primarily based on summer work and fourth-year thesis and research courses. Submissions are encouraged from all disciplines.
