The Journal of Young Investigators (JYI) is a groundbreaking, international platform dedicated to fostering the growth of undergraduate students in the realm of scientific research and communication. Launched in 1997 by a team of ambitious undergraduates, JYI stands proud as the first peer-reviewed undergraduate journal dedicated to global science scholarship.

With an impressive network of experienced mentors and a diverse staff drawn from across the globe, JYI offers unparalleled learning experiences in science journalism, research publishing, and review. It encourages participation from students in various fields of study, from social to physical sciences and engineering, creating an open and accessible scientific community.

Historically backed by prestigious institutions such as the National Science Foundation, Burroughs Wellcome Fund, Duke University, and GlaxoSmithKline, JYI provides a unique platform for undergraduates to communicate their research. It boasts a team of over 75 undergraduates and early graduate students who manage peer review, editing, financial management, advertising, and a comprehensive digital presence.

Notably, JYI has been the stepping stone for numerous award-winning scholars, including Rhodes Scholars, Marshall Scholars, a Fulbright Scholar, and recipients of the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Award. This underlines JYI's commitment to shaping the leaders of tomorrow's scientific community.
