About

Fields: journal of Huddersfield student research is a peer reviewed open access journal developed as part of the University of Huddersfield Teaching and Learning strategy to support and showcase the best of our student work in terms of research across all the six Schools that make up the University of Huddersfield. The journal features primarily work by undergraduate students but can include occasional postgraduate taught work. The journal includes articles but also welcomes submissions from practice based research which can include poems, designs, music scores, drama productions, case studies etc.

Focus and Scope

The main aims and objectives include the following:

• Showcase work that demonstrates significance, rigour and high standards of research
• An opportunity for students to develop and hone their writing for publication skills and still meet the normal academic standard expected in published journals
• A space for undergraduates who have undertaken extra-curricular research to present their findings to a wider audience and to the benefit of that audience
• Promote the development of a community of people exploring ideas through research
• An effective method of introducing undergraduate students to academic publications
