What is this project?

Northwestern University Libraries created open access collections of undergraduate student research in the sciences in the institutional repository, Arch. One examples is Nanoscape: The Journal for Undergraduate Research in Nanoscience, an annual publication of original research conducted by undergraduates from around the county. The journal was launched in 2004 and was the first of its kind in the country. The journal disseminates the results of undergraduate research in the broad fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
