Frequently Asked Questions

Anyone! While our journal primarily highlights undergraduate and high school research, we welcome submissions from anyone with a passion for academic inquiry. During submission, you’ll have the option to list your institution—but it’s completely fine if you’re not currently affiliated with one.

We accept research from all academic disciplines—STEM, humanities, arts, business, social sciences, interdisciplinary fields, and more. As long as it’s interesting.

Not at all. We accept works-in-progress, literature reviews, conceptual proposals, and exploratory research as long as it's well-structured and clearly presented. The most important thing is that it’s interesting, valuable, and thoughtful work.

It’s not required. We encourage collaboration with faculty or mentors and if your research was conducted under such guidance, do include a mention of them in your submission. But you do not need to have one to conduct and submit your research.

No, we do not enforce a strict word limit or format. We encourage clarity, originality, and relevance—feel free to structure your work in the way that best suits your ideas.

Yes, submissions go through a rigorous review process by a team of undergraduate editors, supplemented by graduate students or faculty advisors depending on the topic and review track. These reviews are fairly light and focuses on clarity, logical flow, and overall quality—aiming to uphold academic standards while maintaining a supportive, constructive tone.

Once your submission is received, you'll get an email confirmation as soon as it's reviewed by an editor. From there, we provide editorial feedback based on the quality and clarity of your work. After any revisions, your article is published on the website. We pride ourselves on balancing speed and quality—the entire process usually takes 7–10 days from submission to publication.

Our editing process is intentionally light-touch. We focus on clarity, grammar, and logical flow, without altering your core ideas. In some cases, if your submission is already clear and well-written, it will be published without any edits. Our goal is to support your voice—not to over-edit it.

We charge a small 9.99$ submission fee to support the platform and editorial operations. This fee is non-refundable.

Rejections are rare and only occur if a submission is clearly inappropriate, disrespectful, or violates our academic integrity policies. In most cases, we’ll work with you through the review process to help your article reach its best possible form.

We operate on a rolling publication basis, meaning articles are published online as soon as they’re ready. Timeliness is important to us—once you submit your article, you’ll hear back from our team within a few working days with next steps or editorial feedback to keep the process moving efficiently.
