Research Types

Choose the kind of study that fits your question

Across both science and social science, JBE students pursue the study type that suits their interests and timeline — and every path is backed by our publication guarantee.

Empirical Study

Original data collection — surveys, experiments, or archival datasets — analyzed with real statistical methods. The deepest, most rigorous track.

Analytical Study

Analysis and modeling of existing or secondary data. Ideal for students who want quantitative rigor without running their own data collection.

Literature Review

A structured synthesis of existing research. The most affordable path at $1,000/mo and the fastest route to a guaranteed publication.

After First Submission

Revise-and-resubmit support

Peer review almost always asks for revisions. We support that work separately.

$1,000 per revision round

After your initial program ends with the first journal submission, we charge a flat $1,000 per revise-and-resubmit round. Each round typically takes about a month and includes:

  • Reviewing the editor's and reviewers' comments with your mentor
  • Revising the manuscript
  • Drafting the response-to-reviewers letter
  • Resubmitting

Most papers go through one or two rounds before acceptance or rejection. Same rate applies regardless of which initial program you took.

Our Guarantee

We guarantee your student gets published

We aim high — and we back it with a floor no other program offers.

Target top-tier — guaranteed to publish

Every JBE paper is first prepared and submitted to top-tier high school research journals. If a paper isn't accepted at that level, we guarantee publication in a well-recognized peer-reviewed journal — including our affiliated journals JHSS and JHCS, where our editorial relationship expedites review and publication.

The result: your student finishes with a real, citable, peer-reviewed publication — guaranteed.

A few honest notes

  • Timelines vary. Top-tier journals can take a few weeks to many months to reach a decision. Publication through our affiliated JHSS / JHCS route is faster, but exact dates still depend on each journal's schedule.
  • Journal fees may be separate. Some journals charge a submission or processing fee, paid by the student. Fees range from $0 to several hundred dollars, and we'll always tell you the expected fee before submitting.
  • Revise-and-resubmit rounds are billed separately at a flat $1,000 per round (see above), covering JBE's revision work.
Selection Help

Not sure which program?

Three quick guidelines.

Just exploring

Start with the 1-Hour Consult — it's free. We'll honestly tell you whether research is a fit before you commit to anything.

Have summer, want it done fast

1-Month Sprint ($7,000) is an intensive 4-week push to first submission. Best if your student has flexible time and wants the paper done quickly.

Balancing with school

2-Month Standard ($2,500/mo) or 3-Month Premier ($1,500/mo) spread the work and cost over a longer period — same final output as Sprint, easier monthly cash flow.
