About us

PennScience High School Journal (PSHSJ) is the high school division of the PennScience Undergraduate Research Journal, a student organization at the University of Pennsylvania. Created in 2024, we are unique in that we offer an open access high school research journal. As part of our open access policy, publishing in PennScience does not prohibit your ability to publish your research or present your data elsewhere. We abide by this policy as PSHSJ's sole mission is to showcase innovative research led by high school students around the world. To ensure PennScience is accessible to as many students as possible, we accept research from a large variety of disciplines, ranging from the social sciences to the natural sciences to engineering.
