We welcome research papers stemming from courses taken at UC Berkeley, as well as independent research papers. To ensure a comprehensive and insightful exploration of diverse topics, we request that submissions adhere to a maximum length of 3,000 words. This allows us to maintain the depth and quality of the published content while accommodating a wide range of subjects. Excerpts and/or summaries of senior theses are welcome.
