A Source for First Physics and Chemistry Research Papers?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding online sources for undergraduate research papers in Physics and Chemistry. A participant suggests that focusing solely on first-time authors may not be beneficial for learning effective research paper writing. They reference their experience in an ACS accredited Chemistry program, which included a dedicated course on research paper writing. The journal JURP is mentioned as a previously useful resource, despite its current inactivity.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of undergraduate research paper structure
  • Familiarity with academic writing standards in Physics and Chemistry
  • Knowledge of the American Chemical Society (ACS) guidelines
  • Basic research skills for locating academic journals
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore online repositories for undergraduate research papers, such as JURP
  • Research academic writing courses offered by universities
  • Investigate the American Chemical Society (ACS) resources for writing guidelines
  • Learn about effective literature review techniques in scientific research
USEFUL FOR

Undergraduate students in Physics and Chemistry, educators teaching research writing, and anyone interested in understanding the process of writing academic research papers.

I want to know if there is a good online source to find and read first-time research papers written by undergraduates(bachelor's research papers) to get a feel for how to write a first research paper in Physics or Chemistry. Can you give me some good places online?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I doubt that exists, I'm not sure why anyone would do that.
If your intention is to write a good paper, limiting/focusing your attention on just first time authors is a bad idea.

Are you at a university? When I was senior in an ACS accredited Chemistry curriculum, we had a 2 hour course on writing research papers.

Although this journal is no longer active, it is still a good place to look.
