The Trinity Student Scientific Review was established in 2015 by a group of seven Junior Sophister students here in the college to provide a platform for science undergraduates to engage with academic writing and reviewing. It is now in its third year of publication, having gone from strength to strength with the backing of the Faculty of Engineering, Maths and Science.

The Editorial Team of the Trinity Student Scientific Review: Volume III

The current Editorial Team consists of eight undergraduate students, typically in their Sophistor years. The review process is done by an editorial team including academics and postgraduate students for each stream (Life Sciences, Chemistry, Physics, and Animal, Earth and Plant Sciences).
