Re: Student research - where to publish?

Hopefully this is an appropriate topic for this forum.
I am an assistant professor of physics in a liberal arts college. I
have had, and for the first time, supervised a senior thesis involving
a calculation in supergravity. Although the calculation was original,
in the sense that it was not previously published, my judgement is that
it is on the trivial side as far as actual publication is concerned,
and was primarily for educational purposes. The student has been
wondering if we can still publish in a journal that accepts work of
this type. As I have no experience in publishing outside of the
standard research journals (e.g Phys Rev), I thought of asking this
forum. Does anyone know of a such a place?

A Google search quickly turned up the following:

Journal of Undergraduate Research in Physics
(from the Society of Physics Students & Sigma Pi Sigma)
http://www.jurp.org/

Appears very much like what you are looking for.

Hope this helps.
