- Journal objectives
- To promote the link between teaching and research
in Higher Education - To provide a repository of high quality
undergraduate research which will be useful to
other students, staff and the research community - To provide a forum for students, their
supervisors and Universities to showcase high
quality undergraduate research work - To illustrate the student skill base to
prospective employers. - The website has had over 33000 full text
downloads of papers, suggesting a strong interest
in the bioscience research undertaken by UK
undergraduates.
Bioscience Horizons has been awarded a
certificate for publishing innovation by the
Association of Learned and Professional Society
Publishers and a BBSRC-funded survey of UK
academic and student opinions of shows
overwhelming support for the journal. Academic
comment "Bioscience Horizons is a much better
introduction to the real world of authorship than
tutorial exercises. Furthermore, people need to
be made aware that real research can be done, and
is done, in final-year projects. Authorship is
recognition, a reward due to those to whom it
really belongs. This scheme sends nothing but
positive signals in all directions. Professor
John Allen Queen Mary, University of London
Student comment I am very proud to have had
the opportunity to have my work published. It
was the icing-on-the-cake at the end of my
academic studies! Visit our website at
