  • Science Fiction Film And Television is a biannual, peer-reviewed journal published by Liverpool University Press.

  • The Council on Undergraduate Research Student Journals - Student journals create unique avenues by which emerging scholars can engage with research more profoundly. They offer a more viable path for students to earn publication and provide valuable professional opportunities, as student leaders can experience academic publishing from a distinct vantage point and develop as leaders in research. Student journals often play an integral role in research engagement programs at the institutional level.
