I want to submit an article or essay
Please read through the guidelines below carefully.
SPACE is especially interested in writing that relates in some way to the sciences, technology and society. The sciences could include the social sciences––economics, political science, psychology, sociology, anthropology, etc.
If you have written an article (e.g. news, feature, profile, opinion) or essay (e.g. research, literary, historical, philosophical, personal) that fits that description, SPACE invites you to submit it for publication on the website.
Editing and preparing your article or essay for submission
Often an article or essay is initially written for a teacher, who may be familiar with the texts you are referencing, the jargon you are using, etc. However, articles and essays published on the SPACE website should be accessible and engaging to a general audience of your peers. Therefore, some editing maybe be required in order to adapt your article or essay for the website.
Your submissions should also include a few other elements that are needed for publication––specifically, a title, a byline, a copyright free image and a short bio.
Finally, we ask that students include the name of a teacher who has agreed to endorse their submission.
Please review the following checklist to help ensure that your article or essay is as accessible, engaging and well-written as you can make it and that it includes all the elements necessary for publication.
Then, when you are ready, you can submit your article or essay through the Submissions Portal.
