Inquiries Journal is an open-access online academic student journal, not an education course platform in the traditional sense. It is aimed at undergraduate students and above, publishing multidisciplinary student research with a focus on the social sciences, arts, and humanities, while also covering areas such as environmental studies, health sciences, biology, neuroscience, and computer science. The site positions itself as a channel for “future thought leaders” to publicly publish and disseminate student academic work.
The platform’s core function is not teaching, but academic publishing and reading. Its sections cover political science, international affairs, business and communications, psychology, economics, education, sociology, literature, history, philosophy, law, film and media, and more. Submissions are open year-round, accepting work from undergraduate, graduate, and higher-level scholars, as well as research completed by authors during their university studies. Editorial evaluation criteria include originality of perspective, quality of citations, explanation of analytical framework or methodology, grammar and style standards, and clarity of expression. The acceptance rate disclosed in 2021 was 14.1%, indicating a certain level of selectivity.
The text states that the submission fee is $0, while a $175 publication fee is required after acceptance. The standard review time is described on different pages as approximately 2–4 months or 2–5 months, depending on submission volume and timing. The platform also offers an expedited review option, with a decision provided within 10 days, but the specific expedited review fee is not disclosed.
Its strengths are open access, broad disciplinary coverage, a relatively low submission barrier, and friendliness toward student research. Its ISSN is 2153-5760, and in 2021 it had around 3.5 million online readers from 185 countries. The drawbacks are that it does not offer courses, instructor-led teaching, learning paths, or certificates; the review cycle is relatively long; and there is a publication fee after acceptance. In addition, the site notes that as of 2023 it was seeking a new owner to take over publishing, so its future operational stability is worth monitoring.
It is better suited to undergraduates, graduate students, and early-career researchers who want to publish English-language papers, strengthen their academic writing profile, and bring classroom research into public discussion. It is also suitable for readers looking to browse student academic papers, find research topics, or study writing examples. It is not suitable for learners seeking structured courses, career training, or verifiable completion certificates.
