I recently achieved something very rare in academia: I have published two sole-authored articles in a peer-reviewed journal as a final year undergraduate BSc Psychology & Counselling student at The University of Staffordshire.
Publications in the Journal of Ecopsychology (JoE) (2024) include.
“Eco-Relaxing in the Natural World is for Me” – How eco-psychotherapy benefits neurodiverse individuals.

volume-4-2024/volume-4-article-8.
“The Grass Can Be Greener on the Other Side” – Building resilience through nature-based therapy.
https://joe.nationalwellbeingservice.com/volumes/ volume-4-2024/volume-4-article-4/.
Feel free to check out my ResearchGate page!
How often do undergraduate students publish research in psychology or related fields? Should universities do more to support undergrad-led research? How can we make research more accessible for students before they reach postgraduate levels?
I’d love to hear from academics, students, and researchers about their thoughts on undergraduate research opportunities!
Have you or someone you know published research as an undergraduate? Drop a comment below!

The Student Journal Symposium for Literary and Research Publications
"Student publications are a vital element of the research ecosystem. Experience with a student-led journal can inspire young people to pursue a career in publishing, instill valuable leadership lessons, and nurture best practices in scholarly communications for students in any field of study...
For students who publish in these journals, publication experience may lead to graduate school or professional opportunities. Students editing and publishing journals learn valuable leadership experience in addition to copyediting, design, and technology skills. Faculty advisors, library publishers, and other staff gain experience and service opportunities. A few student journals make an impact on their discipline, beyond their campus. The Symposium provides a space to share best practices on funding, sustainability, leadership, and peer review as we navigate through a challenging time for research, academic freedom, and higher education..."
