Do undergraduate journal publications help?

Do adcomms look favorably on articles published in undergraduate journals? I'm thinking of undergraduate philosophy journals. E.g., BYU's Aporia, Denison's Episteme, Yale's Philosophy Review, Stanford's Dualist, etc.

And if I have an article in the works, should I just list that on my resume as an unpublished work? Or what?

It's a soft factor. Unlikely to be a game-changer, but might as well put it on the ol' resume.

Absolutely not. Undergrad journals are already a joke, they definitely don't warrant anticipatory listing.

They helped a lot with OCI, FYI.
