Frontiers for Young Minds is a unique, open-access kids' science journal. We don't just publish science which researchers think is accessible for kids; we bring our young student audience, aged 8-15, into the peer review process, to edit the articles written by top researchers, to connect with the science directly, and to ensure the final publication is accessible for their peers.
With nearly 19M views and downloads worldwide (averaging 20K per article published), and a collection of Nobel-Prize winners writing for us about their careers, we're truly set to inspire the global next generation of young scientists!
Join me to find out how we work, and more importantly, to preview the big changes our wonderful journal is going to see this year. Exciting times are ahead, with ambitious expansion planned, and we are looking for additional new partners to help us take our important science-communication mission truly international in all major languages. Talk to team leader Laura Henderson about how to make innovation in open education happen, and check us out at: kids.frontiersin.org.
