Emerging Papers is an international open-access publishing platform designed specifically for high school students seeking to build competitive academic and research portfolios for university admissions.
Emerging Papers offers young scholars two English-language publications, each tailored to different academic interests and strengths.
A rigorous, peer-reviewed academic journal. It publishes original student research that meets strict scientific and structural standards following a comprehensive peer-review process.
A dynamic popular science magazine. It welcomes engaging popular scientific articles, opinions, and news, published based on editorial board approval.
Every published paper is freely available to readers worldwide immediately upon publication, without subscription or paywall barriers.
Authors retain their copyright under a Creative Commons license (CC BY 4.0).
We view every submission that meets all of our requirements and standards as an opportunity for students to learn, improve, and grow as scholars and writers.
Acta Scholaria publishes accepted papers immediately upon acceptance, without unnecessary delay. Outlier Today publishes accepted articles on the release date of its next issue.
Students choose the publication that fits their work and submit their paper on our website — no account needed.
Authors under 18 need the consent of a parent or legal guardian. We email them a link to confirm, and the paper can only be published once they have.
Acta Scholaria papers go through preliminary screening, editorial review and peer review. Outlier Today articles are published based on editorial board approval.
Accepted papers are subject to an Article Processing Charge, sent to the author by email, and are then published online, open access: in Acta Scholaria straight away, in Outlier Today with its next issue.
