The Open Journal for Students’ and New Scientists’ Research (OJSSR) is an online peer-reviewed, open-access academic research journal that empowers undergraduate, ambitious high school students and beginning scientists to go beyond the classroom and engage in real-world, data-driven primary and secondary research and publication. With guidance from educators, researchers, and mentors, students can turn original class research, independent projects, internship and mentorship experiences, and online explorations into professionally reviewed, citable publications.

About this Journal

Our mission is to provide students and new scientists a credible, professional platform where their work and research can undergo peer review, published and cited as open-access content, freely available to all.
