About ISJOS

We believe that teaching science to secondary school students means not just teaching students the science content, but also teaching them how to be scientists. Students should experience all aspects of being a scientist. They should not only master current scientific knowledge found in text books, they should also learn how to create new knowledge through scientific research and then have the opportunity to publish their work. At StudentScientists.org, we work towards the development of science curricula that include opportunities for original student research and publishing. As a part of that effort, in January, 2015, we established the International Scholastic Journal of Science (ISJOS) . The ISJOS was originally known as the ISB Journal of Physics from 2007-2012, and as the ISB Journal of Science from 2013-2014.

The International Scholastic Journal of Science is an entry-level, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing the original research of secondary students in all areas of the natural sciences. Papers submitted to ISJOS undergo an editorial screening followed by a double-blind review process with at least two reviewers. After peer review, the editorial team works closely with authors to revise manuscripts according to reviewer suggestions. Once approved, papers are published online on a rolling basis throughout the year.

The International Scholastic Journal of Science is an online, Open-Access Journal with no author or submission fees. All published articles are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0), and authors retain copyright of their work.
