Columbia Science Review (CSR) is an official Columbia
student organization striving to promote public awareness and
knowledge of science and technology. CSR presents open platforms
where all authors maintaining the authorship and copyrights of
the manuscripts and published articles.
CSR has two publications where students can publish:
The Columbia Science Review (the Review) and
the Journal of Columbia Science Review (the Journal).
Articles in the Review are written for the general public;
whereas articles in the Journal are written in scientific
paper formats. Both graduate and undergraduate students can contribute
to CSR by 1) submitting articles as an author, 2) reviewing the
submitted manuscripts as a reviewer, or 3) making editorial decisions
as an editor.

1. Educational Benefits
Presenting students' opinion and research activities
to audiences encourages students to review their activities
and achievements critically. Students writing a review article
will be learning the topic issue in constructive manner. Publishing
in an open platform where authors retain all rights is both
intellectually challenging and educationally beneficial.
2. Professional Benefits
Students pursuing careers related to science will
eventually face moments to discuss and transmit scientific knowledge
to others. Participating in CSR provides similar experience
so that students will be able to present their thoughts and
opinion much more professionally than the unexperienced peers.
3. Communal Benefits
In the present world where the influence of science
and technology is continuously growing, students with greater
scientific literacy will possess broader perspectives and keener
insights. Through participating in CSR, students increase their
scientific literacy by actively engaging in writing, editing
and reviewing articles in science. The general public will receive
greater benefit from having future leaders with greater scientific
literacy.

CSR would like to ask faculty members to mention the opportunities
and benefits of participating in CSR to both graduate and undergraduate
students in pure science, engineering, and/or journalism. http://www.ColumbiaScienceReview.org
is the website of Columbia Science Review.
Principal investigators and mentors of student authors should
not be worried about potential authorship problems, because all
authors of any article published in the publications of CSR retains
their respective authorships and copyrights. Therefore, it is
very unlikely that articles published in the Review or
will be questioned of its authorship or
originality. The purpose of the Review
is to present no-copyright-binding, open publishing opportunities
for students.
