Submission Guidelines

We welcome submissions from high school students who are passionate about academic inquiry and eager to contribute to meaningful scholarship. Our editorial board includes experienced researchers, educators, and editors dedicated to helping young scholars grow through rigorous feedback and mentorship.

Selectivity

We are a highly competitive journal that upholds rigorous academic standards, not every submission will be accepted. However, our goal is to nurture intellectual curiosity and academic growth among the youth. We value innovative thinking, strong writing, and a genuine commitment to meaningful research. Each submission is carefully reviewed by a team of editors and subject experts. While we cannot accept every paper, we are committed to giving each student a fair opportunity. If your work shows promise, we may offer revision requests to help strengthen your submission.
