St Anne's Academic Review builds on the success of the Subject Family Events and the informal lunchtime discussion groups in the sciences, humanities and social sciences.

The activities of the vibrant research community here at St Anne’s inspired us to collect a wide range of articles into a multi-disciplinary e-journal. We want to encourage academic debate between the SCR, MCR and JCR, help you build up your research profile, and give others an insight into your work.

The 2009 STAAR online journal can now be found via the MCR website.

If you would like to write something for a future edition of STAAR, please read the guidelines below.

  • We are looking for submissions of up to 2,000 words in length. Your article should give an overview of your subject area, your interests, and of the contribution that your research is making to your field, as well as any illustrations or photographs.
  • We are also looking for short reports of up to 500 words on prizes or scholarships, research trips, conference papers or seminars.
  • We welcome reviews of up to 500 words of the MOLT gallery exhibitions, St Anne’s music recital series and recent books published by St Anne’s fellows.
  • The journal is aimed at a broad audience, so please ensure that your article is accessible for non-specialists.
  • If you are an undergraduate with a fascinating essay, a postgraduate with an intriguing thesis, or a Fellow with some thought-provoking research, then please get in touch!
  • Please read the checklist for submissions.
