The Research Competence is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to providing teenagers with opportunities to strengthen their research skills and support their academic development. The journal is inclusive, welcoming submissions from all disciplines, regardless of project scope or the student’s level of skills and experience. In addition to publishing, the journal seeks to build an academic community through collaboration and networking, while also educating young researchers on the publication process.
