Submit a Paper

Next deadline: November 1, 2026, 11:59 p.m. Eastern (November 15 with expedited review). Papers submitted by then are considered for Volume 1, Issue 1, published December 15, 2026.

The form takes about 15 minutes. Have these ready:

  • Your manuscript with your name removed, as a PDF or Word file (how to remove your name).
  • Each figure as a separate file, at 300 dpi or more.
  • Names, emails and schools or institutions of any co-authors (students, or a teacher, mentor, professor or researcher who contributed to the work).
  • If you or a co-author is under 18: a parent or guardian's name and email. We ask them for consent by email.
Publishing on Time

Paying a fee never guarantees publication, or publication in a particular issue. Your paper is considered for the issue whose deadline you submit by, and is published in that issue only if it is accepted after no more than one round of revisions and you meet every deadline we give you: the submission fee (and any parent or guardian consent) by the submission deadline, a revision that makes every required change by its due date, and the final Word file and publication fee by the final-file deadline. Our own screening, review and decision times are set so that, when all of this happens, the paper fits in the issue. Otherwise it moves to a later issue, and no fee is refunded. The form shows your own dates before you submit.

How revisions work
  • Every paper gets one round of revisions. The decision email lists every required change, numbered, under “Specific changes requested” in the reviewer report.
  • Your revision must make every required change. Your response letter answers each one by its number and says exactly where in the paper the change was made.
  • If you believe a requested change is wrong, say so in your response letter, with your reasons. The editor decides whether your explanation is accepted.
  • The editor checks the revision against the numbered list. If any required change is missing or incomplete, the paper isn’t accepted in that round: the editor either asks for a second round of revisions, which moves the paper to the next issue, or rejects it.
  • Whether a revision makes the required changes is the editor’s decision, and it is final.
