JHSR is a free, web-based, open-access journal published to highlight exceptional
research achievements by high school students. It will be an ideal, highly visible
venue for students participating in summer scholar programs, science fairs, and other
similar activities to showcase their work. In addition to peer-reviewed research
articles authored by high school students, in collaboration with their teachers and
university-faculty mentors, JHSR will feature a) editorials on recent discoveries
in the chemical sciences, b) tutorials on laboratory experiments suitable for
implementation in the high school classroom, and c) information useful for students
pursuing admission to colleges and various career paths. In this medium, high school
students who publish their work gain a competitive advantage for career advancement
by demonstrating their excellence to a broad audience ranging from the high school
to the university level.
