Overview

The Youth Research Review (YRR) is a high school research journal designed to provide all students, regardless of age, experience, or financial background, an equal opportunity to conduct and publish academic research. In alignment with this mission, we charge no submission or publication fees and aim to minimize manuscript processing times, enhancing the accessibility of academic publishing in the Middle East. We accept a wide range of submissions from middle school and high school students, from short articles to full academic papers. YRR is a journal created by students, for students. Our dedicated team of accomplished high school students works diligently to review and score submitted manuscripts, while the PhD Advisory Board ensures that all submissions meet the journal's standards. YRR operates with rolling publications and offers open access to the public.

Processing stages

Stage 2:

Section Editor

If your manuscript complies with all formatting guidelines and policies, it will be assigned anonymously to two section editors. They will independently review and score your paper based on a rubric. The scores and feedback provided will determine whether your manuscript is accepted, rejected, or sent back for minor revisions.

Stage 1:
Compliance Officer

After submission, your manuscript will first be reviewed by the Compliance Officer. During this initial screening, they will ensure that it adheres to all formatting guidelines and policies. The manuscript will also undergo AI detection, plagiarism checks, and fact verification to ensure accuracy and originality.

Stage 3:

Author editing

In some cases, a manuscript may meet our requirements and standards but still require a few adjustments. In these instances, the manuscript will be returned to the author with feedback, allowing them a brief period to make the necessary changes before resubmitting it for publication.

Stage 4:

Publication

If the manuscript meets the journal's standards, it will be accepted and published on our website. The author's work will be categorized under either the "Short Articles" or "Academic Papers" section, depending on the nature of the submission.
