Graduate Journals

The advent of the internet has increased the opportunities for graduate researchers to publish their work through open-access, online journals. Whilst not necessarily as prestigious as those produced by large publishing houses under academic editors, online (post)graduate journals still play a vital role in disseminating research, enabling communication between scholars with common interests, and delivering feedback on work for early-stage researchers.
