The Canadian Young Scientist Journal (French: Revue Canadienne des Jeunes Scientifiques) is a non-profit peer-reviewed publication covering student-driven research. It was established in May 2008 by its current editor-in-chief, Alexandre Noukhovitch[1] and is published by the Foundation for Student Science and Technology. In 2014 it was renamed Journal of Student Science and Technology[2] and is a joint program supported by the federal Science and Technology Cluster. It provides secondary school students with an opportunity to publish the results of their research.[3] The journal is based in Toronto and is published biannually. It works in close association with Youth Science Canada.[4][failed verification] The journal includes project reports, case studies, and science book reviews authored by high school students.[5] To benefit science education and to support classroom activities, the journal publishes expert reviews along with students' papers. Notable student editors of this journal have included Maya Burhanpurkar.

Circulation
