Journal Policy

The International Journal of Science & Academic Advances (IJSAA) is dedicated to supporting emerging scholars—particularly high school and undergraduate students—as they embark on their research and academic publishing journeys.

While we strive to maintain high standards and provide valuable opportunities for young researchers to present their work, IJSAA operates primarily as an educational and developmental platform. At present, the journal does not participate in certain industry indexing services, nor does it assign Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) or carry an International Standard Serial Number (ISSN). As such, the focus remains on fostering learning, experience, and academic engagement.

Our priority is to provide a welcoming space where students and early-career researchers can build confidence in sharing their findings, without the formalities typical of long-established academic publications. We believe this approach offers a meaningful stepping stone in scholarly growth, while maintaining clarity about the journal’s current scope and recognition.

We welcome any questions and invite potential contributors and readers to reach out should they wish to learn more about IJSAA’s mission and practices.

Ethical Guidelines

  • Research Involving Humans or Animals: All studies must comply with institutional and national ethical guidelines. Applicable ethical approvals must be clearly stated.

  • Informed Consent: Where relevant, authors must obtain informed consent from research participants and ensure anonymity/confidentiality.
