title: Next-generation training: publishing student scientists' research.
abstract: Too often, young students fail to translate their childhood curiosity into a passion for scientific discovery. The Journal of Emerging Investigators (JEI) aims to stimulate scientific curiosity in middle and high school students by providing them with an opportunity to publish their science projects in an open-access, peer-reviewed journal.
