Purpose
The Columbia Junior Science Journal is a high school research journal seeking original research papers and review articles. We provide high school students with a platform to publish manuscripts in the fields of natural sciences, physical sciences, engineering, and social sciences. Selected CJSJ authors demonstrate the ability to communicate research projects to the general public and scientific community. CJSJ promotes the development of young researchers versed in technical and communication skills, which are facets encoded into the DNA of Columbia University.
Background
CJSJ began as a spin-off journal of the Columbia Undergraduate Science Journal (CUSJ), an open-access, professional-level science journal that is committed to publishing manuscripts of the highest scholarship stemming from significant scientific research and outstanding scientific analysis. Papers published in CUSJ undergo a peer review process by the Journal’s Editorial Review Board. Established in 2005, CUSJ publishes its journal annually, resulting in 17 volumes as of Spring 2024. In Fall 2015, CUSJ leadership elected to bring a similar opportunity to high school students by establishing CJSJ. CJSJ has published 9 volumes as of Spring 2024. CJSJ continues to set the bar higher with each volume. This growth is driven by research of the highest quality from our authors and the dedication of our editorial board.
