JOURNYS | Journal of Youth in Science - 0 views

  •  
    "The Journal of Youths in Science (JOURNYS) is a completely student-run science publication featuring original research, reviews, and op-eds from youths under age 20. Unlike most science magazines, JOURNYS provides the unique opportunity for students, themselves, to get published. Filling the gap between professional science journals and magazines written for younger children, JOURNYS allows student authors to expand their existing knowledge and readers to gain appealing and useful insights from their peers."

Journal of Emerging Investigators | JEI is a scientific journal for middle and high sch... - 0 views

  •  
    The Journal of Emerging Investigators is an open-access journal that publishes original research written by middle and high school students in biological and physical science. JEI provides students, under the guidance of a teacher or advisor, the opportunity to submit and gain feedback on original research and to publish their findings in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. Because grade-school students often lack access to formal research institutions, we expect that the work submitted by students may come from classroom-based projects, science fair projects, or other forms of mentor-supervised research.
