Research Paper Competition – 5th Edition
In the world of knowledge, there is always something new to discover. There are many different fields of study and sciences waiting to be discovered. Scientific research is a powerful tool for exploring and expanding the boundaries of human knowledge.
The Albanian-American Development Foundation, through the “CleanScore” project, has made access to the “JSTOR” library possible for all public partner universities. You can find more information on the official “JSTOR” website at www.jstor.org.
“JSTOR” is one of the largest digital libraries offering rich resources of academic journals, books, and other important materials for students, professors, and researchers in all fields of study.
The Research Paper Competition’s main goal is student engagement in scientific research and promoting using the “JSTOR” library for research purposes through rewards. In this fifth edition, our focus remained the same.
CleanScore celebrated the fifth edition of the Research Paper Competition with a unique ceremony bringing lecturers, students, and project collaborators together.
