Wingspan is a student-run undergraduate research journal at the University of North Texas, publishing work in the natural and social sciences. Founded in 2025, it was created to support and recognize undergraduate research amid declining funding for science and innovation.
Wingspan publishes original undergraduate research conducted outside the classroom. All submissions are reviewed through a double-blind peer review process to ensure quality and academic integrity.
As an R1 doctoral university, UNT depends on undergraduate researchers, yet publication opportunities remain limited. Wingspan offers a free, peer-reviewed platform that helps students strengthen their academic profiles and prepare for graduate and medical school.
