Founded in 2007, inquiro is the premiere student-run annual research journal from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). inquiro was established to create a platform where the research contributions of undergraduate students from across campus could be published and highlighted. UAB is the center of scientific research and healthcare in Alabama and encourages its students to participate in discovery. The undergraduate body makes large contributions to the field and beyond, and inquiro gives those students a voice in the academic community.

When students publish their work through inquiro, they get the opportunity to practice going through the submission and editorial process for a scientific journal, and at the end contribute to their fields with a published work. Our student editors work closely with the authors and artists to produce the best information on current research at UAB.

Since its renewal following the pandemic, the journal continues promoting the value of research submissions across all industries and disciplines. It has also created a new section for Null/Nonsignificant Results to highlight the value of transparency in academia and the impact of all results in guiding future research. Through its newfound partnership with the Honors College opens a new website and Office of Undergraduate Research opens a new website, inquiro continues to revitalize its role as the premiere student-run journal on campus that highlights the newest and most innovative research being conducted on campus.
