About This Journal

Caroliniana Library

The Caroliniana Undergraduate Research Journal (CURJ) is the University of South Carolina’s student-led, peer-reviewed, undergraduate research journal for university students. CURJ aims to provide a publication forum for students within the USC system to showcase their research and scholarly works from all disciplines in the article format. To accomplish this, CURJ has 4 different subsections–STEM, Humanities, Social Science, and Interdisciplinary–to encourage students from all majors and backgrounds to publish their work. CURJ is hosted in partnership with the University Libraries.

The journal is named after the South Caroliniana Library, the first free-standing academic library in the nation. Since 1840, the library has been dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and served as the college library for 100 years until it was converted to a special collections library. In celebration of the South Caroliniana Library, CURJ aims to align itself with the spirit of the library by cultivating a space for students to contribute to the greater academic community through research and publication.

Submissions are encouraged from students of all academic years and disciplines on all USC campuses. Submissions are not limited to Magellan program recipients or South Carolina Honors College students.
