Frontiers for Young Minds: Science edited for kids, by kids.

I am all about getting kids more involved in science. If you know of any fun links, handy resources, or anything else related to kids and science, please add it here!

Frontiers for Young Minds is a web-based scientific journal with an editorial board of kids.

About Us:

Frontiers in Neuroscience for Young Minds is a scientific journal that includes young people (from 8 to 18) in the review of articles. This has the double benefit of bringing kids into the world of scientific research – many of them for the first time – and offering active scientists a platform for reaching out to the broadest of all publics.

All articles in Frontiers for Young Minds will be reviewed and approved for publication by young people themselves. Established neuroscientists will mentor these young Review Editors and help them review the manuscript and focus their queries to authors. To avoid overburdening the young Review Editors, revised manuscripts will in turn be reviewed by one of the stellar Associate Editors of Frontiers in Neuroscience for Young Minds.
