Why Publish With Us
Most people don't publish until university. You can start now — and keep it for life.
Not a school project filed away — a permanent record with a DOI, which you can list on college applications and resumes.
Published alongside students from around the world, open access, and free for anyone anywhere to read.
Every submission is read and assessed by real scientists, who tell you specifically how to make your work stronger.
You practise what working scientists and engineers actually do — structuring an argument, citing sources, defending a claim.
Something you can link, share and point to — evidence of what you can do, rather than a claim about it.
Your school and your mentor are named on your published article, so the credit travels with you.

Intellectaa Journal for Teens is committed to giving students a genuine, internationally recognized platform for sharing their scientific work — reviewed with the same care as any academic publication.
Students in grades 8–12, from any country.
It's free to submit and free to be reviewed. An Article Processing Charge applies only if your article is accepted — see Publication Fees.
No fee is ever charged for articles that aren't accepted. We'll notify you by email, and you're welcome to revise and submit again.
Yes — you may submit more than one article. To keep our review process fair and timely, please wait until your current submission has been reviewed before submitting another.
Yes — as a helper. Using AI to fix your grammar or help you understand a topic is fine. But the experiment, the build, the ideas, and the words should be yours — AI can help you, but it can't be the author. You'll be asked to tell us how you used AI when you submit, so just be honest.
See our full Privacy & Data Policy below.
When you submit an article, we collect: your name, age/grade, school name, city/country, and a parent or guardian's email address. We do not require students to create an account or provide a personal email address to submit.
This information is used to verify eligibility, contact you and your parent/guardian about your submission status, and to credit your work if published. Country information is also used to determine publication fee eligibility under our income-based pricing.
Because our authors are minors, we require a parent or guardian's email address at the time of submission. All status updates, review decisions, and payment requests (if applicable) are sent to this email address.
If your article is accepted, we publish your name, grade, school name, and country alongside your work. We do not publish your personal email or any other contact details.
We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties. We may occasionally send updates about the journal (such as new volumes or calls for submissions) to the parent/guardian email provided — you can opt out of these at any time.
Parents/guardians may request access to, correction of, or deletion of their child's submitted information at any time by contacting editor@intellectaa.com.

For Schools
Get your students published internationally — and unlock a discount plus school recognition when you publish together.
A teacher or coordinator encourages students to submit — each student submits their own article through our Submit page, providing their school name at submission.
Every article goes through our standard review — a 3–4 week timeline.
Once 6 articles from your school have been accepted (within a period of 1 year), the coordinator contacts us to request the bundle rate.
We confirm and bill the discounted rate as one bundle payment instead of 6 separate charges — and your school logo appears on every article in the bundle, published alongside the Intellectaa logo, at no extra cost (optional).
| Tier | Individual rate | Bundle rate (per article) | Bundle total (6 articles) | You save |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| High income countries | $50.00 | $40.00 | $240.00 | $60.00 |
| Middle income countries | $25.00 | $20.00 | $120.00 | $30.00 |
| Low income countries | $12.50 | $10.00 | $60.00 | $15.00 |
All bundle rates are + applicable taxes.
Bundle eligibility: the bundle rate applies once 6 articles from the same school are accepted within a one-year period, billed together as one bundle payment. Fewer than 6 accepted articles are billed at the standard individual rates.
