LSUA RELEASES VOLUME 3 OF THE OAK LEAF UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH JOURNAL

by Dr. Sandra Gilliland and Adam Lord

LSUA’s Center for Opportunity, Research, and Experiential Learning (CORE) has published the newest edition of The Oak Leaf, 3(1).

The Oak Leaf, an undergraduate journal of teaching and research, is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal publishing the achievements of college students at LSUA and others in all areas of teaching and research. The Oak Leaf  showcases the best multidisciplinary research and reviews from undergraduate students and their mentors. This publication is open to any undergraduate student conducting scholarly work under the supervision of a faculty member. 

The objectives of the journal include providing a forum for the university community to express and exchange diverse ideas from various fields, familiarizing students with the publishing process, encouraging faculty-student collaboration, and offering undergraduate researchers in all disciplines the opportunity to communicate their experiences and results to general as well as academic audiences worldwide.
