Historically, the science writing and publication field has been a predominantly white space with established norms that present barriers for marginalized individual involvement. Previous literature has shown that involvement in science writing and publication has enhanced science identity and persistence in STEM, leading to a more recent push to diversify scientific inquiry and inclusivity among those historically excluded. Although there is ample research done on the development and regression of science identity in marginalized individuals, there is a lack of exploration on the experiences of non-white early career individuals navigating the science writing processes with regards to their racial and cultural identities. In particular, Asian Americans have been historically perceived as the model minority, assuming that they have a natural aptitude for STEM. So, while Asian Americans are a minority group, many don’t perceive them as a minority in science. This results in a lack of studies on how they navigate scientific norms and bridging the different parts of their identity and culture. The current study interviewed 26 participants of self-described Asian background from the Journal of Emerging Investigators (J.E.I.), a scientific journal dedicated to publishing middle school and high school research, on questions relating to their experiences and views of science writing, identity, and community. Data analysis was conducted using NVivo. Results indicate that participants took two different approaches in incorporating their racial and cultural identities: siloing, wherein students emphasized the need to separate their identities from science writing, and spurring, wherein they drew inspiration from their cultural backgrounds when constructing their initial research question. Many also brought up racial invisibility in which participants never recognized how race may influence their scientific work. This alludes to specific boundaries in scientific writing that Asian participants conceptualize in order to navigate the model minority myth.
