What We Publish

ISE's journal is an ISSN-certified publication dedicated to original research by high school students. We publish across all STEM disciplines — from biology and chemistry to engineering, computer science, mathematics, and environmental science.

Every submission goes through a structured review process led by Dr. Ellen Roche, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at MIT, and supported by a panel of professors. We look at clarity of question, rigor of methodology, and quality of writing — not name, school, or prior experience.
