Abstract: The authors outline a multiple-methodology process to develop locally relevant core journal lists for undergraduate research. Criteria were inclusion in major aggregator databases, in expert lists, and comparison with similar collections. They conclude with a list of almost 2100 journals that support undergraduate education at the institution at which they were then employed, and outline other considerations when adding or canceling these titles.
