| Description | JYI's web journal (which is also called JYI) is dedicated to the presentation of undergraduate research in science, mathematics, and engineering. It publishes the best submissions from undergraduates, with an emphasis on both the quality of research and the manner in which it is communicated. The journal, JYI, also allows students to experience the other side of the scientific publication process: the review process. Students working with their faculty advisors review the work of their peers and determine whether that work is acceptable for publication in JYI. | |||

In my introductory physiology course (upper division) I have a series of assignments on aspects of scientific writing (e.g., analysis of a topical journal article, examination of a journals instructions to authors, and peer-review). For peer-review I have students select an article from a journal that publishes research from undergraduates. Both the Journal of Young Investigators and Bios are sources for these articles. As part of the latter assignment I tell students that 'just because it's published, it's not necessarily perfect.'
