Aporia
Aporia is an established undergraduate Philosophy journal that has been published by the University of St Andrews Philosophy Society since 2007. We publish top-quality work in analytic philosophy written by undergraduates from across the world.
"Aporia" stands for philosophical puzzlement, and Plato's dialogues are called "aporetic" since they often end with the interlocutor finding himself confused about the meaning of a concept that he had previously thought he knew, like virtue or courage. -

St Andrews Law Journal
The St Andrews Law Journal is a student led publication, our work comprising a variety of investigations into historic and contemporary matters within law and legal culture. We operate an editorial double-blind peer-review, and our published by the Institute of Legal and Constitutional Research, University of St Andrews. The Law Journal asks contributors to write an investigation of something they are genuinely interested in exploring, whether it be of academic or more casual focus, and placing that topic within a legal context: what are the laws governing the issue?; how has the evolution - or degradation - of this interest impacted the wider world, or demographics, specifically? Our editors are here to help guide contributors on elaborating on the pressing and passive legal considerations, doing so - we hope - will make law a more interesting and accessible subject for both our writers and readers.

St Andrews Journal of International and Language Education
St Andrews Journal of International and Language Education (SAJILE) is the online journal hosted by the International Education and Lifelong Learning Institute, University of St Andrews, co-run by students and academic staff at IELLI. Articles are published open access with no charges to authors or readers. The journal hopes to encourage teachers and teacher educators working in the areas of languages education and international education to consider the impact of research on their professional practices and how their everyday practices shape and inform their own research agenda. In other words, the journal is interested in publishing research of teaching (research that is topically related to teaching), research for teaching (research designed and implemented to improve teaching), and research as teaching (research as an integral part of teaching). Although this journal publishes both original research and reflective pieces, our primary focus is on practical issues related to education such as teaching practice. Therefore, any discussion of theories and concepts need to demonstrate relevance to the practicality of teaching and learning.
Our target readers are primarily practitioners such as teachers and teacher educators, whose voices are sometimes under-represented and marginalised in educational research. We also welcome submissions from early career researchers who are looking for a supportive, constructive, and development journal peer review experience. SAJILE is a scholarly platform where practitioners and researchers can experiment with innovative and emergent ideas and share what works, what works less well, and what does not work in teaching, and the lessons learned.
In line with the above, in addition to full-length research articles, we encourage submissions of shorter pieces or work-in-progress (see submission criteria of individual sections). Although the primary audience of the journal is for practitioners and researchers, we welcome collaborative research and reflective pieces by teachers and learners, so that learners’ voices and perspectives can be represented.
As a journal that is dedicated to languages and international education, we encourage authors to include multiple languages for certain sections of their submissions, namely the title and the abstract. We are a journal run by practitioners and researchers with an innovative mindset and we understand that research translation and mobilisation is key to maximise research impact.
