Further information

The Essex Student Journal is an open access journal run by students, for students, and managed by the University of Essex Library. It publishes the work of undergraduate and postgraduate taught students at Essex, with peer review being undertaken by Essex postgraduate researchers.

Few universities have a student journal, making this a rare opportunity for Essex students to experience the academic publishing process in a supportive environment. To date, the Journal and its predecessor, ESTRO, have enabled over 150 students to publish their writing, giving them official recognition for their hard work and helping to kickstart their academic careers.

If you have any questions about the Essex Student Journal or the ESJ Conference 2024, please contact the Essex Student Journal Team.
