About the Journal

Journal of High School Research is focused on publishing original research or review articles with critical discussions.  Articles will be published on monthly basis.

The Journal of High School Research is a fully open access online only journal published by SAM Publishers, LLC.  The primary objective of the journal is to promote, encourage and facilitate critical thinking and research among high school students in 10th through 12th grades in all areas of their interest.  Unique and outstanding research work done by high school students are eligible for consideration.  Papers cannot be a summary or essay of material available openly, rather should include critical analysis of available information based on own research.  Papers can be in engineering, science, mathematics or public policy issues of significant importance.  It is advisable that high school students interested in submitting a paper perform the work under the guidance of a teacher or researcher.  However, independent research papers are also welcome.  All submitted papers will undergo peer review by at least one reviewer, which will be communicated to the authors for revision to address review comments.  All accepted papers will be published once they have gone through detailed editorial and publication process in an issue of the journal.

Current acceptance rate of submitted articles is 25%.  We are accepting submissions and will be publishing articles on a rolling basis.

Once a paper has been accepted after going through the peer review process, the article will be subjected to an article processing fee (APC), since the journal is open-access (not subscription basis).  Please review Submission under About our APC policy.
