Young science

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Junge Wissenschaft is a scientific journal for young researchers that has been published since 1986. It offers young researchers up to a maximum of 23 years of age the opportunity to publish their research. As is customary in the scientific world, every article submitted is assessed. For the young researchers this publication is citable and the conclusion of their scientific work. The concept of this magazine is unique in Europe.

Junge Wissenschaft is published four times a year and contains six original articles each from the fields of natural sciences, mathematics, computer science and technology, one of which is in English. Founding editor and idea generator was Paul Dobrinski in 1986 , inspired by the magazine BASE (today “Science 21”) from the USA. In 2007, Dobrinski received the Eduard-Rhein Foundation's Culture Prize for his commitment to young science and the promotion of young researchers.

The journal is published by Manfred Euler ( Leibniz Institute for Science Education in Kiel), Jens Simon (Press Spokesman for the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt , Braunschweig) and Sabine Walter (Editor-in-Chief Young Science) and was published by Young Science Athanasios Roussidis until October 2017 , Düsseldorf . Junge Wissenschaft was only available by subscription and had a circulation of 10,000 copies. As part of sponsorship subscriptions, it was made available to schools, universities, libraries and other educational institutions free of charge. With the number 114 the journal was discontinued as a print medium and in future, under the leadership of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, it will only be published as an online version in Open Access .

subjects

The focus of Young Science is on scientific articles on questions from young researchers up to the age of 23.

The articles by the young researchers deal with scientific findings from the fields of biology, physics, chemistry, astronomy, mathematics, computer science and technology and are examined by specialist scientists before they are published. News, portraits, interviews and current trends from the school and university landscape complete the range of topics.

Advisory Board

Young science is highly valued not only among young people who are enthusiastic about research, but also in science. On the one hand, this is made clear by the fact that scientists from a wide range of disciplines are available as experts. In addition, scientists and other personalities for whom the promotion and recruitment of young researchers is a particular concern accompany the journal as members of the advisory board. The advisory board currently consists of
