Why the "Middle-East Youth Journal of Science" Matters?
In a world increasingly defined by the transformative power of knowledge, the voices of young scientists hold the potential to illuminate new paths forward. Yet, in the Middle East—a region steeped in history, innovation, and resilience—these voices have often gone unheard in the global scientific arena.
The Middle-East Youth Journal of Science, as the first scientific journal in the Middle East, is born to address this profound gap: to provide an unparalleled platform for the region’s emerging talent to share their discoveries, ideas, and aspirations with the world.
Science thrives on diversity, not only of thought but of origin. Historically, the Middle East has been a cradle of groundbreaking scientific contributions, from early advancements in mathematics and medicine to the pioneering work in astronomy and engineering.
Today, as the world faces pressing challenges such as climate change, energy security, and public health crises, the inclusion of insights and ingenuity of young minds in this region is important. Yet, opportunities to showcase these contributions remain sparse.
This journal stands as a bridge between young researchers and the global scientific community. It is a call to action for students across the region: your questions, your experiments, and your findings matter. They matter to your communities, to the scientific community at large, and to the broader effort to solve the most urgent challenges of our time.
Bridging Regional and Global Science
What makes the Middle-East Youth Journal of Science unique is its dual commitment to inclusivity and context. At its core is an open-access model that ensures no barriers stand between knowledge and those who seek it. This ethos is strengthened by our dual-language approach, publishing in both English and Arabic—a deliberate choice to amplify the accessibility of scientific discourse and to honor the linguistic and cultural diversity of the region.
But accessibility is only part of the story. The journal also champions relevance. Our editorial focus encompasses a broad spectrum of STEM disciplines while dedicating space to challenges uniquely tied to the Middle East. From research on renewable energy technologies tailored to arid climates to explorations of public health issues specific to regional populations, we encourage contributions that blend global scientific standards with local significance.
In doing so, we aim to foster a generation of researchers who are not only skilled in their fields but also deeply attuned to the needs of their communities. We envision these young scientists as ambassadors of innovation, equally capable of presenting their findings at international conferences as they are of addressing local policymakers or educating their peers.
A Platform for Empowerment and Connection
Our peer-review process, guided by a diverse editorial board of students and mentors, ensures that each submission receives the care and rigor it deserves. Beyond publication, we aim to connect contributors with global institutions, research networks, and thought leaders who can amplify their impact and accelerate their growth.
In launching this journal, we are building more than a platform, and look to shape a legacy. One where young researchers, regardless of their backgrounds, can dream boldly and act decisively.
The Middle-East Youth Journal of Science invites you to be part of this vision—whether as a contributor, a mentor, or a supporter. Together, we can empower a new generation of thinkers and innovators to shape a brighter, more equitable world.
