Benefits of Publishing Undergraduate Scholarship
- Although undergraduate work explores most of the research cycle, it often fails to address the dissemination aspect of scholarship. This is an opportunity to participate in the dissemination process and round out your experience working with the entire research cycle.
- Future employers value examples of an applicant’s ability to research, analyze, and synthesize. Published works can provide a powerful example of these traits to future employers.
- Examples of published outputs are impressive on graduate school applications.
- Published works such as these represent successes in networking with professors and other researchers—also valued by graduate schools and future employers.
- Published works demonstrate initiative and leadership.
