First Research is an international, multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to nurturing the next generation of researchers. The journal provides a platform for school students to experience the complete scholarly publishing process, from developing an original idea and conducting research to writing, peer review, revision, and publication.
Our primary objective is to cultivate scientific curiosity, critical thinking, ethical research practices, and academic writing skills among young learners. We believe that research is not confined to universities or laboratories; it begins with asking meaningful questions, exploring evidence, and communicating discoveries effectively.
FirstResearch welcomes original submissions from students across all disciplines, including Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM), Social Sciences, Humanities, Arts, Commerce, Environmental Studies, Health Sciences, Computer Science, Education, and interdisciplinary fields.
By providing an authentic publication experience at an early stage, the journal aims to inspire lifelong learning, innovation, and responsible scholarship.
