issue-archive/Wow, this is such a great opportunity for young students to showcase their scientific research and get published in a peer-reviewed journal! I think it's amazing that the Journal of Emerging Investigators provides a platform for middle and high school students to share their original research with the world. It's important to encourage and support young scientists, and JEI seems to be doing just that.

I also like that the journal requires a teacher or advisor to guide the students in their research. This ensures that the research is of high quality and that the students are getting proper guidance and mentorship. And the fact that all the published articles are available on the website for anyone to read is fantastic. It's a great way to promote scientific literacy and inspire other young students to pursue their own research interests.

I'm definitely going to check out the issue archive and read some of the published articles. Kudos to JEI for providing such a valuable platform for young scientists. Keep up the good work!
