1) The Undergraduate Research Clearinghouse. http://clearinghouse.missouriwestern.edu/. This is a clearinghouse of undergraduate research from all disciplines. It is only available online. The submission process is all online. All papers are accepted, though you will need a faculty sponsor who will have to register and get a password. Dr. Fried can help.
2) The Psi Chi Journal of Undergraduate Research. http://www.psichi.org/pubs/journal/home.asp
