Update (2025-03)

The active operations of CSFJ have ceased as of March 19, 2025.

Over its seven years of operations, CSFJ provided a platform for hundreds of youth to share their innovations and commitments to tackling problems in their communities through science. The CSFJ team is tremendously proud of the program that grew out of the dedication of countless volunteers, teachers, scientists, and youth.

If you contributed to the journal and require proof of your submission or volunteer role, please contact csfj@actua.ca by September 30, 2025.

About

The Canadian Science Fair Journal (CSFJ) was an open-access, non-academic publication for children and youth that showcases articles from youth in Canada aged 12-18. Through a safe and fun simulated publication process led by post-secondary student mentors, young authors learned to communicate their experiences leading science projects while developing critical scientific writing skills.

The CSFJ was not a peer-reviewed academic journal.
