Resources for Scholars
Boise State McNair Research Journal
Each Spring, we publish the Boise State McNair Scholars Research Journal, featuring articles by McNair Summer Research Fellows reporting on research conducted during the Summer Research Institute. The journal provides a a unique opportunity for our scholars to experience the publication process and develop important writing and revision skills. Volume 4 of the journal will be available in late spring of 2008.
