Frequently Asked Questions
-
A peer-reviewed article is a piece of scientific writing that is evaluated by experts in the field. After submission, reviewers provide feedback that the author incorporates into a second draft. While many peer-reviewed journals only accept research from professional researchers, a new set of journals have emerged to cater to a demand for peer-review among high school students. The style of writing is very different from what students have experienced in school and will require learning new norms. That’s why we’re here to help!

Our tutors meet directly with students to select a topic, identify a target journal, create an outline, conduct background research, draft, submit, and revise their manuscript. We also offer support for original research projects and asynchronous review of student writing on an as needed basis. We meet with students for an hour at a time remotely on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis. We will work with you to set up a plan that fits your schedule and are flexible when it comes to adjusting meeting times and meeting specific deadlines.

Our tutors also offer support in choosing a topic, so don’t worry if you’re not sure where to begin.
