The Essex Student Journal is an online multi-disciplinary academic journal, run by and for University of Essex students, with the administration funded and supported by the University of Essex. The journal is dedicated to the publication of high-quality undergraduate and postgraduate writing, and is committed to creating accessible and engaging content for a non-specialist readership. The Essex Student Journal encourages and celebrates student research by offering valuable early experience of academic publishing and the peer review process. More information about the Essex Student Journal is available on the journal website.
The Essex Student Journal offers an opportunity for students at the University of Essex to publish their work, and gain recognition for their writing. It also allows invaluable experience of academic publishing and the peer review process. As an author, you can also earn points towards the Big Essex Award after your work is published.
In addition, following our ethos of being run by and for students, the Essex Student Journal gives Postgraduate Research Students a chance to experience being a reviewer. The journal operates a double blind peer review, meaning that neither the author nor the reviewer know each others' identities. This creates a confidential process, enabling both the reviewer and author to become familiar with the process without their names being shared.
Finally, the Essex Student Journal is a Diamond open access journal, which means all papers are made openly available online, with no cost to the author or reader.
