Journal of Young Investigators
Journal of Young Investigators (JYI) is a student-led initiative to broaden the scope of the undergraduate scientific experience. JYI provides opportunities for students to participate in the scientific review and publication processes, primarily through the operation of its peer-reviewed journal for undergraduates. Incorporated as a non-profit, entirely student-run corporation, JYI's staff members currently represent over 30 different academic institutions. JYI is an independent, non-profit (501(c)(3)) organization run entirely by undergraduates. A number of institutions, including Georgetown University, support JYI in a number of ways.
JYI's web journal, also called JYI, is dedicated to the presentation of undergraduate research in science, mathematics, and engineering. It publishes the best submissions from undergraduates, with an emphasis on both the quality of research and the manner in which it is communicated. The journal, JYI, also allows students to experience the other side of the scientific publication process: the review process. Students working with their faculty advisors review the work of their peers and determine whether that work is acceptable for publication in JYI.
JYI journal is an entirely web-based publication and does not charge subscription fees. Research articles are published three times a year (March, August, October); feature articles are published monthly. Research articles must report on research conducted while or before the author was an undergraduate, and review articles may only be submitted by undergraduates.
