Writing about Science for Publication
Astin, Christina; Harvey, Clare; Janusz, Stefan
School Science Review, v97 n359 p30-38 Dec 2015
Can school students get their science research published? Here, we report on an exciting partnership between The Royal Society and "Young Scientists Journal" ("YSJ"), which is written and edited entirely by students aged 12-20. As background, we explore the history and importance of science publishing and the origin of YSJ. The skills developed by students when they write for publication are discussed. We report some recent and future initiatives associated with the journal, including links with the Royal Society's Partnership Grants scheme.
