This guide outlines the essential technical requirements for a successful submission to the Global Youth Science Journal (GYS Journal). If you have any further questions, please contact us at tuhinsarkar.me@gmail.com.
Submissions must be made in Microsoft Word or Google Docs format. PDF documents are accepted but not preferred. Only in exceptional circumstances—and with prior approval—will alternative formats (for example, an MP3 podcast file) be considered.
Each submission must include a short biographical statement, written in the third person, consisting of one to two sentences. This may include your age, interests, and any affiliated institutions (such as research institutes, schools, or universities).
All submissions must be written in British English. Articles in other languages cannot be reviewed by the editorial team. Translations into British English are welcome and will be accepted.
Submissions must be clear and concise. Overly wordy submissions will undergo thorough editing by both the writer and editorial staff.
Titles must be in British English. Keep them concise, relevant, and clear.
Tables and figures must be clearly labelled and referenced in the text. Captions should be succinct but descriptive.
All sources must be rigorously cited. Any text or ideas derived from research or other works must be properly attributed. Failure to do so will result in rejection of the article. The Global Youth Science Journal takes plagiarism—whether intentional or accidental—extremely seriously.
All submissions, regardless of discipline, must follow the Chicago style for references and citations. Most citation tools (for example, Cite This For Me, Zotero) support the Chicago style. For guidance, see the University of Chicago’s official citation manual.
For consistency, we strongly recommend the use of footnotes for citations, rather than in-line references, to maintain smooth reading flow.
