Hi,
2 of my research papers are published in an International Peer reviewed Journal (High Impact factor), is this considered a major achievement?? or an international achievement??
(If interested) Name of Journal:- JMLR & IJARCS.
Should I Send it to Stanford Intersect for publication? Will it increase my chances if it gets published??
Any input will be appreciated. Thanks.
Best
What peer reviewed journal are you talking about?
Ics
If you want, send it to Stanford Intersect. If it gets published, that could be a boost to your application.
@anan235qwerty: This is what you get with a forum full of HS students. Argh. Ask this question on the Parents’ forum and you’ll get actual answers.
To answer your question, this is considered an international-level (highest/9) achievement to be published in even ONE peer reviewed journal of this quality.
Yes, do send them to Stanford but apraise them of the fact they’ve been optioned by JMLR and IJARCS.
I see this was moved to the Parents’ Forum. Good. Now parents will be able to provide you with actual answers. 
I hope so.
Can you spell out the name of the journal so we have an idea of what it is?
Are these papers co-authored by others? If so, you will need to consult with others. If they have already been accepted for publication, then I am not sure I understand why you would need to send it to Stanford Intersect. An original research paper is usually published only in one journal.
I googled JMLR and it’s a machine learning journal based in the U.S. If you were able to navigate the high stakes world of academic publishing, and get a paper accepted to that journal, that is definitely a big deal (assuming you are doing this mostly on your own ).That’s why I am not sure why your are asking us whether you should send it somewhere else - unless you are talking about a different paper. Perhaps you could clarify, and also please spell out the journal names.
These are 2 different research papers. The Co-Author is very close to me and he is okay with it.
JMLR - Journal of Machine Learning Research
IJARCS - International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer Science.
For many journals, when a paper is submitted, a Transfer of Copyright agreement is required. This transfers the intellectual property of the paper to the journal that is publishing it. If your papers had a Transfer of Copyright agreement, you need to adhere to its requirements. In most cases, this prohibits re-publication in any form without the express consent of the editor.
If you have publications in an journal, there is no advantage to re-publishing them in an undergraduate journal affiliated with the university you would like to attend.
You should ask for a letter of recommendation from your co-author, detailing your contributions to the work, unless the co-author is related to you, in which case the publications will carry less weight, and the letter will not help.
“Should I Send it to Stanford Intersect for publication? Will it increase my chances if it gets published??”
Your paper has already been published – publishing it in an undergraduate journal is unlikely to be useful and might violate rules against dual publication. Stanford Intersect also forbids dual submissions (which presumably includes already published work).
Do not re-submit the work elsewhere (that can actually constitute fraud, dual publication – examples: http://retractionwatch.com/category/by-subject/physical-sciences-retractions/math-retractions/). Sometimes undergraduate journals/books/etc. can be places where the work can be re-presented, but Stanford Intersect does not appear to be that kind of collation.
Asking for a recommendation from your co-author (presuming that the co-author is not a relative) would be appropriate; in addition the publications should be listed on your application (I’m not sure exactly where, but they should be listed, with full cites and a link – JMLR, is open access, and you can give an http link to the journal article.
An example, would be to summarize the work in a few sentences, and then include the full citation and the link. Since you are a junior author, you might consider adding your own personal contribution to the work (for example, ran simulations, did the analytic math, or whatever your contribution was).
When I read the OP, I was confused. Are you asking if you should submit your papers to ANOTHER journal after they have already been accepted at other journals? You can’t do that.
Did your articles get ACCEPTED AND PUBLISHED, or did you send them to these journalsbut haven’t heard back?
(I imagine that if you got them published, you know you can’t “republish them” - you should be allowed to send them to Stanford’s Admissions for review, giving them the link for example. Or are you asking something else?)
Stanford Intersect (which the OP is asking about) appears to be a journal.
Yes, but I’m confused how it’d be possible for a student who’s extraorindary enough s/he got an article about to be published in a peer-reviewed journal to be asking 1° whether it could be published elsewhere and 2° if it’d help to get it into an undergrad journal. Something doesn’t compute.
Perhaps OP means something else?
Also, could this is a humblebrag - not “is this prestigious” but “how prestigious is this and how impressed will stanford be?” Or, it could even be a “best case scenario” post…
If OP published an article in a peer-reviewed journal, that’s the highest level activities rating one can get.
The questions that accompany the fact are weird though.
^^Me too; also confused. Something’s askew…
Thank you! everyone for taking time and commenting on my thread.
@MYOS1634 this is an extended part of the research paper which was published in JMLR, this part has not been published anywhere else.
My other 2 papers were PUBLISHED in JMLR and IJARCS. The Co-Author is my Computer Science Teacher.
But 95% of the work was done by me, I added her as co-author because some journals require a co author.
I am aware of a case: A high schooler happened to grow up in a very good learning environment (likely via his parents’ friends who mentored him for several years.) He had a publication before the end of high school and it did help him het into a tech school.
If a student happens to be at some magnet high school, he could more easily have access to a good mentor. That is one of the reasons when the high achievers often come out of relatively few places.
Usually, both nature and nurture are important, I think.
Recently, it seems that, because not all students have equal access to the resources to enable them to get to the level of being able to publish anything, being a winner in major competition is more valued than being an author of a paper. This is also because it is not very easy for college to verify how much the student contributes to his publication. If the student can somehow be interviewed by some professor at a well-known college who specializes in this particular subject, it could help increase the credibility. This is why grad school admission often includes the interview as a part of admission process.
