The Journal of Emerging Investigators is an open-access scientific journal that publishes original research from middle and high school students in the biological and physical sciences.[1] It is run by a non-profit group and operated by graduate students at Harvard University.[2] It first opened in 2011 with an initial team of ten graduate students.[3]
The journal provides students, under the guidance of a teacher or advisor, the opportunity to submit and gain feedback on original research and to publish their findings in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. Because grade-school students often lack access to formal research institutions, the journal generally receives scientific manuscripts from students working on classroom-based projects, science fair projects, and other forms of mentor-supervised research.[4] The journal has been the subject of a post on Nature's blog.[5]
In 2013, an article from the journal proposing that the United States government change fonts on official documents to reduce ink expenditures gained widespread attention.[6][7][8][9][10][11]
