Resources

The Journal of Young Investigators 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. It also publishes useful resource materials regarding scientific writing:

• Guide to Science Writing
• Writing Scientific Manuscripts
