PUBLISHING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PSYCHOLOGY MAJORS
Journal of Interpersonal Relations, Intergroup Relations and Identity (JIRIRI)
May 6, 2011 - the following message was received from Roxane de la Sablonnière PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Montreal:
"The JIRIRI is an international journal, published annually by a group of undergraduate students. Over the past four years, more than one hundred students from 33 universities in 6 countries have had the opportunity to fully experience the scientific process, from the development of original ideas to their diffusion, through a peer-review committee. The JIRIRI provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to publish an empirical or theoretical scientific paper. These papers can be based on their honours thesis or on a paper written for a course that they believe to be of exceptional quality. The JIRIRI also offers undergraduate students the opportunity to review and edit manuscripts that have been submitted to the JIRIRI, enabling them to develop their critical thinking and feedback skills."
