What Is Journal of Emerging Investigators?
JEI is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes original, hypothesis-driven science by middle- and high-school students around the world. Student authors must be at least 13, and their first submission must occur before university enrollment. Each manuscript needs at least one student author and an eligible adult senior mentor; an adult corresponding author submits and manages communication even if the student is already 18. Access to a university laboratory is not required.
Authors use JEI's Word template to report a research question, hypothesis, methods, results, discussion, figures, references, and acknowledgements. Manuscripts pass pre-review, scientific peer review by graduate or advanced researchers, revision, editing, proofing, and—if accepted—continuous online publication with a DOI. Acceptance is not guaranteed. Literature reviews, unsupported invention descriptions, plagiarism, simultaneous submission, and studies lacking required human or vertebrate-animal approval are not eligible.
