We, the Editorial Board of Jakobsleiter, an interdisciplinary academic journal dedicated to submissions by high school students, would like to contribute to the cause of scholarly progress by providing opportunities for dedicated young students to engage with ongoing scientific debates, interact with renowned academics and start developing well-rounded academic interests.
The namesake of Jakobsleiter, the heavenly ladder, encapsulates a twofold concept: young minds ascending on the ladder of science, and established scholars descending to support those who will one day join them and continue their work.
Jakobsleiter creates a space where ambitious secondary school students can take their first steps into academic publishing: formulating a research question, developing an argument, responding to expert feedback and refining a piece of work for publication.
The Editorial Board of Jakobsleiter currently consists of Andor Kelenhegyi and Zoltán Rézműves.
Jakobsleiter is now accepting submissions for its sixth issue. Please read the full Call for Papers for details. Jakobsleiter’s Editorial Board welcomes submissions from high-school students from all academic disciplines and particularly encourages interdisciplinary approaches.
All submissions arriving before the submission deadline will be pre-reviewed by the Editorial Board and, having passed that stage, by independent experts through a peer-review process. Papers are returned to submitters with detailed feedback on the content and suggestions for improvement.
Authors whose manuscripts pass peer review will be asked to revise and resubmit their papers and, upon editing, they will be printed in the 2027 issue of Jakobsleiter.
