The Princeton Journal of Interdisciplinary Research (PJIR) is a peer-reviewed, open-access platform dedicated to elevating original work by undergraduate, graduate, and early-career scholars. We believe that inquiry flourishes in an environment shaped and sustained by researchers themselves. PJIR is run by scholars, for scholars: an academic community committed to curiosity, intellectual generosity, and methodological rigor.

We aim to foster the next generation of researchers by providing a space where ideas can be explored freely, where disciplinary boundaries are porous, and where meaningful dialogue can take root. By featuring innovative research across the sciences, social sciences, engineering, the humanities, and emerging interdisciplinary fields, we seek to highlight work that not only advances knowledge, but also asks the questions that expand how we imagine the world.

We are committed to maintaining a publication model that is fully accessible to both authors and readers. PJIR does not charge article processing fees or subscription fees. Knowledge should circulate openly. Scholarly work should be shared — not gated behind paywalls, nor limited to those with institutional privilege. By removing these barriers, we ensure that emerging researchers have the opportunity to participate in scholarly conversation on equal footing, and that the research we publish is freely available to the global community.
