Aims & Scope

The International Journal of Science & Academic Advances (IJSAA) provides a platform for the publication of high-quality research and review articles authored by high school students in the broad fields of life science, engineering, computer science, mathematics, economics, and business. IJSAA welcomes both full-length original research articles and concise review papers that demonstrate innovative approaches, original data, or rigorous analysis. All articles should be submitted only after adhering to author guidelines.

All manuscripts must present novel findings or syntheses that contribute substantively to their respective fields. Articles must be written in clear, fluent English, as language quality will be considered during peer review. Manuscripts that show evidence of plagiarism, self-plagiarism, or previously published content (including republishing of Methods sections) will be immediately rejected. All authors must disclose any use of AI or automated tools in the preparation, analysis, or writing of their manuscripts. Manuscripts in which AI-generated content is used (such as for data analysis, coding, language tools, or writing assistance) must clearly acknowledge such contributions within the methods or acknowledgment sections. IJSAA does not permit the listing of generative AI tools as co-authors, and authors are fully responsible for ensuring the accuracy, originality, and integrity of all submitted work—even when utilizing AI-based tools.

IJSAA operates a single-round peer review system: eligible submissions are reviewed, and authors are given one opportunity to revise and resubmit if major or minor revisions are required. Final decisions rest with the Chief Editor. Submissions must include high-resolution figures and adhere to all formatting guidelines. All corresponding authors should ensure strict compliance with research ethics and the originality of their work.

Main Scope of the Journal:

  • Scientific research: biology, chemistry, physics, earth/environmental science

  • Technology and engineering: hardware, software, robotics, design, innovation

  • Computer science: algorithms, programming, AI/ML, data science

  • Mathematics: applied, pure, statistics, modeling

  • Economics: micro/macroeconomics, theoretical and applied research

  • Business: entrepreneurship, business analytics, management science, finance

Outside of the Scope:

  • Manuscripts lacking novelty

  • Toxicological research

  • Pharmacological research

  • Engineering articles that do not deal with the direct improvement of technological processes
