Got a Project You’re Proud Of? Submit to the Undergraduate Research Contest

By Shannon Cary   Posted in Events and Exhibits Gateway Carousel
Posted on

If you are an undergraduate student who completed a research project in the last few semesters, you can submit your work to the University Libraries Undergraduate Research Contest.

You already did the hard work! Now just submit it; it’s so easy!

You submit your already-complete project as-is, and the only extra work is including a brief Research Process Statement with details about your research process.

A “research project” can be a traditional research paper, a musical composition, a work of art, a video, a web page, or other creative work.

Not sure what to submit? Check out past submissions for inspiration.

The deadline for submission of all materials is January 31, 2025. Winners will be announced in February 2025.

Contact Ashley Granger if you have any questions: grangeran@missouri.edu

The Dimensions database is now available to our campus community thanks to the MU Division of Research, Innovation & Impact. 

Dimensions provides a holistic view of millions of publications, grants, citations, impact metrics, clinical trials, patents, and policy documents all in one place. You can also analyze research outcomes and gather insights on research funding and collaborations to inform future strategy. 

Here are some unique features to look for:  

  • For any article with an Altmetric link, you can set up an alert to track future mentions in social media and more. 
  • Unique in providing AI summaries for publications, grants, patents and clinical trials and address the daunting task of navigating and condensing vast amounts of information. 

If you have questions about the database or how to use it, contact your librarian at ask@missouri.libanswers.com.
