Submit an Article to Youth STEM Matters - Youth Led Scientific Journal

Youth STEM Matters is a youth led scientific journal, created by Youth STEM 2030 to provide a platform for young people to share their research findings, ideas and innovations with the world!

We publish articles which have a real world impact, and can help solve some of the biggest global challenges, from the climate emergency, to poverty, to inequalities. 

Have you got a science project that you want to take further?  Or maybe you've got an idea that uses STEM (science, technology, engineering & maths) to make the world a better place and you want to share it?

If you're aged 22 or under, you can submit your article today!  Choose from 3 styles:

- Original Research: new, never done before experimentation, investigation, discovery, design, manufacture or invention.
- Review Article: summarise the current understanding of a specific topic, with author evaluation on the original research undertaken by others.
- Science Communication: blogs, magazine articles, news and interviews.

Your project might be something you completed through a CREST Award, Nuffield Research Placement, Big Bang Fair, a science fair/competition, a STEM Club, as part of coursework for a qualification, as an extra-curricular activity, or as a personal project.  However you started your article/project, we'd love to hear from you!

Not sure where to start?  We've got plenty of guidance on our website!
