• Have you seen examples of STEM work in schools which deserves to be published?
• Are there projects or coursework out there which will otherwise lie forgotten on a shelf or USB memory stick?
• Would you like to encourage a student (or group) to consider publishing it in a science journal for others to read and for posterity? (…being a published author looks great on their CV!)

The Young Scientists Journal allows students to enter into the world of scientific publishing and journalism by providing them with the opportunity to research and write their own articles.  The articles will then be processed by student Editors and an International Advisory Board before being sent to the publishers where they will be made into official articles, each with a unique code. 

Many of our authors have conducted scientific research for coursework, competitions, holiday placements or projects.  We are also keen to receive shorter, review articles, and creative material such as videos or cartoons. 

There is also the opportunity for them to discuss scientific issues with students between the ages of 12 and 20 from all over the world.  On a weekly basis, the latest international science news is summarised on the website, providing a simple resource for aspiring scientists. 

If you know a student who would be interested in getting more involved, and helping to run the journal, we are actively recruiting students at the moment to our Young Scientists team in many roles including editing articles, managing the website, graphic designing and helping with publicity.

You may be interested in becoming an ambassador for Young Scientists by joining our International Advisory Board.  If so, please send an email to Christina Astin, cma@kings-school.co.uk
