Investigations is dedicated to the development, promotion, and dissemination of student scholarship at Elmhurst College. The primary purpose of the journal is to publish original scholarship across all academic disciplines, whether conducted within or outside of the classroom.

Manuscripts submitted for publication must primarily represent the work of the student(s) and report scholarship completed while a student at Elmhurst College (e.g., class project, independent study). Manuscripts must be in generally recognized format for their respective disciplines, and should be sent to the appropriate editor. The Editorial philosophy of the journal is developmental and seeks to guide and improve student work. Investigations does not claim ownership of submissions, and publication in Investigations does not preclude submission to other scholarly sources for wider circulation. All work included in the publication remains the property of the authors.
