Learn how to discover how and where to conduct and publish research.
To start a research project, first identify a topic of interest, then find a mentor or advisor who can guide you. Next, conduct a literature review to understand existing work and develop a research question. Finally, create a research plan and seek approval if necessary.
There are several journals and conferences that accept high school research, such as the Journal of Emerging Investigators, the High School Research Journal, and the Regeneron Science Talent Search. Your school may also have opportunities to present your findings.
MVHS offers access to research databases, faculty mentorship, and science fairs. You can also join research-oriented clubs like the STEM Research Club.
You can reach out to teachers, university professors, or professionals in your field of interest. Many universities have outreach programs for high school students, and some online platforms connect students with mentors in various disciplines.
