High school scientists who conducted original research, performed the experiments themselves, and wrote up the results, can submit manuscripts for publication in this journal. A school teacher must co-author the article. The research can be conducted at school or during an internship at a university research lab (in which case the mentor also co-authors the article). The authors experience the review and revision process that is standard in scientific publishing.
