All @ijpsjournal.bsky.social authors are special to us, but it is a particular treat to publish undergraduate research. To celebrate our undergrad authors, we started making mock journal covers featuring pictures of undergrad researchers at work. A thread of mock covers from 2025. /1

Folks, this can compromise the confidentiality of the review process, as well as authors’ intellectual property rights. Doing it is a breach of peer review ethics.

Of interest to our followers. Editorial work is important and can be very professionally rewarding.
