[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fpr 99% of the time - the Student Published Research Paper is a scam; either a made up journal no one cares about or a family connection to a professor.

A proper research paper takes a person with a PHD  months if not years of work, blind reviewed by three other researchers, and submitted months before being published. It's not a weekend write-up.

There are intro books that are written by teens that are legit, they are things like how to create a website;  it's basic and legit.  This is what I expect from a teen.

What next? Colleges are expecting a book on the best seller list?

If your kid can do all this? why are they going to college?[/quote]

Okay, put aside whether or not the research work is ever published or not.

Many high schools have science research programs for students that are interested in science research.  At our high school, it starts freshman year of high school and progresses through senior year.

The students build up their knowledge and skills and then normally during the summer after Junior year, they work with a mentor on a research project.  Senior fall includes finalizing the data analysis and completing the research paper under the guidance of the science research instructor.  This program is aimed at learning about science research and then making a submission to science competitions like Isef and regeneron and others.

It's possible that this work could be submitted to certain colleges to support an application if it's a university that considers such submissions.  Some do.

It's certainly not for everyone but for students that are interested in science research it's a great program.  [/quote]
