Submission Guidelines

We welcome research papers, critical essays, policy memos, creative scholarship, and multimedia storytelling from high school and undergraduate contributors worldwide. Every submission receives two rounds of peer review paired with mentor feedback.

How to submit

Email your manuscript and abstract to rmohamed@dohacollege.com.qa.

No AI-written submissions. We only publish work authored and edited by real students. Pieces generated or heavily drafted by AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) are rejected immediately and may result in a full ban from future issues.
