The IYRC in the News

​The Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons recently featured an article about the 4th IYRC.

Plagiarism

The IYRC has zero tolerance for plagiarism / academic dishonesty. Those who are found to be in violation of the IYRC's policies for publishing will be removed from the conference and have their paper retracted.
We aim to foster academic growth, not jeopardize early careers. It is rare for us to receive a plagiarized paper that passes pre-screening and peer review, and thus must be retracted after publication. We are open to share the list of retracted published papers due to plagiarism by request.

TESTIMONY FROM THE Fourth IYRC

​The IYRC was beyond anything I could have ever imagined. From learning how to conduct my own academic research, to providing an opportunity to network with an international community of talented individuals, the conference became a place for youth to grow and become proactive, inspiring assets to society. Being exposed to this group made me a more knowledgeable and open-minded individual, and this was an experience that will continue to shape me for the rest of my high school career and beyond.

​Even with being virtual, the IYRC conference was such an amazing experience! I loved hearing about the innovative research done by my peers who presented at the conference and thoroughly enjoyed presenting! I hope to attend next year as well!

The IYRC is truly the perfect outlet for students across the globe to collaborate, learn, and engage with one another. It allows students from a variety of locations across the globe to share their passions for a plethora of research topics!
