Proceedings of the Society of Teen Scientists

Science Done by Teens Is Different

Professional scientists chase metrics. Publication counts, citation indexes, impact factors. The pressure distorts science itself: rushed work, confirmed hypotheses only, a reproducibility crisis where 70% of studies fail to replicate.

Teen scientists have a rare advantage: the freedom to follow pure curiosity. No tenure pressure. No grant deadlines. Just questions worth asking and the drive to answer them. This journal presents that authentic science for the world to read, cite, and build upon.

Research Worth Reading

Original discoveries. Surprising results that challenged what you expected. Replications that confirm or question published findings. Methods that help others do better science. Reviews that connect the dots across a field.

Your hypothesis was disproved? That is science working. If the research was rigorous, it belongs here.
