Aims & Scope

The International Scholastic Journal of Science (ISJOS) provides a venue for secondary school students worldwide to publish original research conducted as part of their science and STEM studies. The ISJOS employs a rigorous selection, review, and revision process to ensure that papers published represent an original, valid contribution to human knowledge.


The Journal publishes entry-level research conducted by students in secondary school laboratories. Papers are accepted in all areas of STEM and the natural sciences on any topic related to a typical secondary science curriculum.


Entry-level research is not expected to address cutting-edge topics. Instead, ISJOS encourages small but meaningful contributions that extend our understanding of the natural world. Papers published in the Journal must demonstrate originality, validity, and high levels of confidence in the findings, and should offer suggestions for continuing research.
