Frequently asked questions
Who can submit?
Students in grades 8–12, from any country.
Is there a cost?
It's free to submit and free to be reviewed. An Article Processing Charge applies only if your article is accepted — see Publication Fees.
What happens if my article isn't accepted?
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.
Can I submit more than one article?
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.
Can I use AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude?
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.
How is my data and privacy handled?
See our full Privacy & Data Policy below.
Privacy & Data Policy
What we collect
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.
Why we collect it
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.
Parental involvement
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.
What we publish publicly
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 We do not publish your personal email or any other contact details.
Data retention and sharing
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.
Your rights
Parents/guardians may request access to, correction of, or deletion of their child's submitted information at any time by contacting nanothinkspectrum@gmail.com.
For Schools
Bring Intellectaa to your classroom
Get your students published internationally — and unlock a discount plus school recognition when you publish together.
Why partner with Intellectaa
- Your students get published in an international scientific journal — a real credential for college applications
- A 20% bundle discount on publication fees when 6 of your students are accepted within a one-year period
- Your school's logo featured alongside Intellectaa's on every published article in the bundle — visible, international recognition
- No extra fees, no annual commitment — students simply submit individually, tagged with your school
How it works
Students submit
A teacher or coordinator encourages students to submit — each student submits their own article through our Submit page, providing their school name at submission.
Articles are reviewed
Every article goes through our standard review — a 3–4 week timeline.
Coordinator tracks acceptances
Once 6 articles from your school have been accepted (within a period of 1 year), the coordinator contacts us to request the bundle rate.
Bundle rate applied
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).
Bundle pricing
| 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 |
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.
