hello, i'm a high school student doing some research that i think has the potential to get published.
thing is, i'm doing it basically by myself (i'm using some lab equipment at a very prestigious university, but my cell culturing is at a lab which is for student science fair projects specifically)
1) is it possible to get published just by myself, or will editors/peer reviewers look down on that and reject me? 2) do i need a professor or scientist as a coauthor to get it published? (b/c i could ask someone i know to look it over for me and thus put him as a coauthor)
3) and also for my institution...should i put my school or what?
i'm thinking of submitting to the journal of neuroinflammation, journal of neuroscience, and journal of immunology - i've seen some studies on these journals that are pretty similar to mine, so i think i have a good shot just content based.
please let me know your thoughts/suggestions.
thanks,
alejandra
