Submit Your Question

Ask A Scientist from the Journal of Emerging Investigators offers an opportunity to correspond with a scientist pen pal to answer your research-related questions. Simply fill out the form below, and we will match you with a scientist who can help get your experiment off the ground and ready for publication!

Standing at different stages of your research journey, you may have ideas for only some of the required sections (indicated by asterisks). For those you’re unsure about, you can put in “No ideas” or something similar. However, we encourage you to pause a moment and reflect on your research when filling out the form. Be sure to include all the information necessary for our scientists to understand your research and help you with your questions.

You may also be interested in filling out an Experimental Design Worksheet (PDF). While this is not required, we recommend spending some time with it, as it will help you design and prepare for your experiment.
