Write Your Manuscript
<< Back to the posting process Write Your Manuscript You’ve done your research – now it’s time to share it with the world! Many scientists communicate their work by writing a scientific manuscript (sometimes called an “article” or “paper”). In the manuscript, scientists describe what researchers studied, how they did their research, what they discovered, […]
Support/Questions
Support/questions If you have a specific question about doing, submitting, or posting your research, we’re here to help. We are happy to support students*, teachers, mentors, and adult authors at any stage of the research and posting process. Check the Submit page, eiRxiv Posting Process, manuscript template, submission guidelines, and help guides on our submission […]
Survey Invitation
Two weeks after the manuscript and feedback are posted on eiRxiv, we invite student authors to share their experience with eiRxiv by participating in our survey. This voluntary survey helps us understand what students learn through the eiRxiv process and how we can improve eiRxiv to better support young researchers.
Post Feedback from eiRxiv Scientific Reviewers
For every manuscript posted on eiRxiv, an eiRxiv scientific reviewer will be invited to provide constructive and supportive feedback.This feedback will highlight what students have done well in their manuscript and kindly point out areas where the manuscript could be strengthened. The feedback will be permanently posted publicly, alongside the preprint manuscript.
Post the Manuscript on eiRxiv
With approval from all authors, the manuscript will be posted on eiRxiv and will be permanently publicly available to both the scientific community and the general public.
Sign Consent Forms
After passing the pre-review check, all adult authors and parents/guardians of student authors will be asked to give permission for the manuscript to be permanently published (often called “posting” for a printing).
Pre-Review Check
Once the manuscript is received, eiRxiv performs a pre-review check to ensure the manuscript is clear and logically structured. eiRxiv also screens all submissions to make sure they meet our guidelines, aren’t plagiarized, are within the expertise of our scientific reviewers, are hypothesis-driven, and do not endanger individual or public health. eiRxiv may request revisions from students before the manuscript can be posted.
Submission Guidelines & Support
Submission Guidelines and Support eiRxiv provides a unique preprint platform for middle and high school students to share their scientific research, get constructive feedback from professional scientists, and learn about other students’ discoveries. Whether you’re preparing a manuscript for the first time or a teacher helping your students post their research, we recommend following these […]
