The Journal of Young Investigators (JYI) is an undergraduate research journal and self-titled non-profit corporation that publishes student research in every area of science. Funded mainly by the National Science Foundation, Burroughs Wellcome Fund, Duke University, and GlaxoSmithKline,[1] undergraduates run every part of JYI, including editing, financial management, advertising, and website work. JYI is run by over 150 undergraduate students and may include some graduate contributors up to two years after obtaining a bachelor's degree. Staff and contributors come from several different countries, and publishing in the Journal and serving on its staff has help prepare its participants for successful careers, and former staff include two Rhodes Scholars[2][3] and one Marshall Scholar.[4]
JYI was founded in 1997 by five undergraduate science majors whose aim was to create opportunities for undergraduates to communicate their research to others. In 1998, JYI was awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation, and, on 3 December, the journal published its first issue. By the second issue, JYI had added undergraduate-written feature articles, describing issues in science for a general audience, and in 2004, JYI added weekly science news.[5]
