◈ A student-led group of highly motivated students looking to write a review paper, focusing on the discussion and critique of current knowledge within a field of study.
◈ This initiative involves the work of interns (high school and college/university students with no experience in research) and mentors (high school and college/university students with experience in research AND/OR at least one publication). See below for descriptions of specific roles and eligibility requirements.
◈ All participants in the program will be guaranteed publication on The Steamology Project website upon completion.
Program members should expect to work on tasks remotely to meet deadlines.
◈ Workload varies depending on the research topic.
◈ Approximately one online meeting once a month (~1 hour).
◈ Members are welcome to request more meetings at the discretion of their mentor (requested meetings are held in 30-minute increments).
Students are strictly prohibited from submitting their manuscripts to multiple journals. This notion is known as dual, simultaneous, or concurrent submission and is illegal across the scientific community.
Note: The TSP Research Internship Program is a volunteer-based opportunity. Neither interns nor mentors receive a stipend for their participation.
◈ Extracurricular activity for your resume.
◈ Earn a publication on TSP’s website.
◈ A fun way to demonstrate your STEAM passions!

* Title: briefly describes research topic (max 100 characters, including spaces)
* Abstract: serves as a brief, standalone summary of the paper that highlights key points, objectives, and conclusions of your research (max 250 words)
* Introduction: provides readers with background information on the research topic, outlines the significance, and makes readers excited to read the paper
* Body: contains the main content of the research paper, includes detailed explanations and analysis of current knowledge
* Conclusion: provides a more in-depth summary of the paper now that the reader has read it and understands its contents and can address future research directions
* References: a comprehensive list of all sources cited in your research paper, formatted in APA style
Note: Research papers often involve experimental design where scientists will have to design an experiment and discuss their results in their paper. The TSP Research Internship will not provide any instruction for publishing research papers.
