Journal of Emerging Investigators
Publication of serious high school research by highly credible organizations is becoming more common. Even more exciting, this research goes way beyond what most thing of as pure sciences and includes work in the social sciences, including psychology and sociology. If you are deeply engaged in research, this is a terrific way to show off all of your hard work to the world. It’s also an amazing way to be connected to experienced scientists and researchers, scholarship opportunities and even undergraduate opportunities.
“The Journal of Emerging Investigators is an open-access journal that publishes original research in the biological and physical sciences that is written by middle and high school students. 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.
JEI is a non-profit organization run and operated by graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and professors across the United States. JEI provides the opportunity for graduate students to contribute to the editorial and review process, and management of an academic journal.”

HOT TIP: It’s becoming more common for high school students to publish their research. The bar is HIGH, but if you meet it, you’ll be in rarefied air (and a great position to secure admission at the college of your dreams).
