Social Science Text and Academic Research (STAR) is a journal that highlights the scholarship and publishes the findings of undergraduate, student research in the social sciences at two-year institutions. Papers must pass a three step process before being published including a double-blind review by at least two experts in the papers’ field. STAR is open to all students at any two-year institution of higher learning and is coordinated with SATURN and MARS journals which focus on science/technology and music/art respectively.
