We invite you to read our new Digital Discovery Emerging Investigators Collection 2025.
We’re pleased to announce that a new themed collection from Digital Discovery has now been published online.

Digital Discovery is committed to supporting and recognizing the excellent work of early career researchers. We are thus proud to present our first annual Emerging Investigators collection. The collection showcases research carried out by internationally recognised, up-and-coming scientists in the early stage of their independent careers across the Digital Discovery community who are making outstanding contributions to their respective fields.
A selection of the articles has been provided below. Be sure to visit the collection the read the rest!
All articles in Digital Discovery are open access and free to read.
If you would like to nominate a colleague or yourself as an Emerging Investigator for our next collection, please contact us for further details by reply to this email.
