New York Times blog by journalist Jane Gross focuses on the elderly and the challenges faced by adult children who care for them:

Have you written an "A" paper that won praise from a professor? Maybe the professor has even told you, "You should publish this!"

Publishing an article in a peer-reviewed, undergraduate research journal is a prestigious and achievable goal. It will shine on your resume or graduate shool application, and you will hone your research and writing skills as your write and revise a paper for publication.
