Journal Scope

Majāl’s priority is to mentor and publish the broad range of undergraduate work that students produce on Carnegie Mellon University Qatar’s campus; therefore, the journal supports inquiries across academic disciplines in the form of independent research, course-based projects, and student-faculty co-authored collaborative research. To accommodate this broad scope, our editorial team networks with disciplinary experts on CMU's Qatar and Pittsburgh campuses and elsewhere to support the double-blind review and mentoring processes.

Vision

Majāl commits to:

• fostering and publishing the academic work of undergraduate students
• prioritizing students’ personal and professional development in the review and publication process
• supporting an inclusive, ethical, and equitable approach to undergraduate publication

Mission

• To encourage and recognize undergraduate scholarly endeavors at CMU-Q through at least one published issue each academic year
• To provide mentorship and feedback for students in the publication process, explicitly prioritizing their growth as writers, researchers, and students
• To introduce student authors to publishing expectations and expert review processes
• To provide compensated opportunities for students to work on an editorial team
