About the Journal

The Hadhramout Undergraduate Research Journal is an annual, peer-reviewed, student-led international research journal issued by the Deanship of Postgraduate Studies and Scientific Research at Hadhramout University. It is the first of its kind dedicated to publishing undergraduate research in both Arabic and English and operates according to an ethical charter for publication (see Publishing Ethics and Policies).

The Hadhramout Undergraduate Research Journal represents an unprecedented academic achievement in the Arab world and the region, as it is the first scientific academic journal entirely managed by students. This unique model places students in academic leadership positions, giving them a distinctive opportunity to contribute to advancing scientific research and overseeing all stages of academic work, from receiving and reviewing submissions to editing and publishing.

This innovative approach significantly enhances the academic environment, enabling students to acquire practical and scholarly skills beyond traditional curricula. Within the journal, students form a fully integrated editorial board, including editors-in-chief and editors, who are guided and supported by specialized faculty serving as supervisors and scientific reviewers to ensure high academic quality.

As a student-led academic initiative issued by the Deanship of Postgraduate Studies and Scientific Research at Hadhramout University, the journal seeks to serve as a multidisciplinary platform that highlights scientific talent and research creativity among university students. It provides a space for academic exchange across various scientific disciplines and aims to bridge the gap between undergraduate education and distinguished scientific research while fostering a research environment that encourages innovation and knowledge sharing.
