A Proposal to Create an Online, Student Managed Journal for Undergraduate Research in Marine and Aquatic Sciences

为海洋和水生科学本科生研究创建在线、学生管理期刊的建议该项目启动了一个在线、学生管理和审查的海洋和水生科学研究期刊。该杂志仅在网上发布，以便任何人随时随地都可以访问。它通过提供一个由教师和研究生指导的全国大学生学习者社区管理的出版论坛，鼓励高质量的本科生研究。学生从所有相关利益相关者（即作者、同行评审和编辑人员）的角度体验科学出版的过程。通过其使命，该杂志向更大的科学和教育界强调研究经验在本科学习中的重要性。它还通过利用研究活动来加强学习，架起了研究和学习的桥梁。学生学习并掌握沟通、网络和批判性思维技能。研究生导师受益于学生的指导经验，并有可能发展成为在教学上更有意识的地球科学教育专业人士。

ABSTRACTA Proposal to Create an Online, Student Managed Journal for Undergraduate Research in Marine and Aquatic SciencesThis project launches an online, student-managed and reviewed, research journal in the marine and aquatic sciences. The journal is published online only, in order to be accessed by anyone, anytime, anywhere. It encourages quality undergraduate research by providing a publishing forum that is managed by a nationwide community of undergraduate learners mentored by faculty and graduate students. Students experience the process of scientific publishing from the viewpoints of all involved stakeholders, i.e., as authors, peer reviewers, and editorial staff. Through its mission, the journal emphasizes to the larger scientific and educational community the importance of research experience in undergraduate learning. It also bridges research and learning, by using a research activity to enhance learning. The students learn and master communication, networking, and critical thinking skills. Graduate mentors benefit through student mentorship experience and potentially developing into pedagogically more aware geoscience education professionals.
