SPORK allows students to present the results of their own seminar papers and theses to a wide audience: Low-threshold, clear and freely available to all.
With SPORK (Student Perspectives on Research and Knowledge), Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) offers students a platform to actively participate in academic discourse and gain initial experience in open access publishing. In doing so, the journal lowers barriers to academic publishing and plays a key role in fostering the visibility, recognition, and appreciation of student research in line with the principles of research-based learning.
The Call for Papers for our first open issue is currently open! The deadline is October 1, 2026. Contributions from all disciplines are welcome!
