High school students can get first-hand experience in the process of scientific publishing by submitting a research manuscript to Sigma Xi's journal, Chronicle of The New Researcher (CTNR). The editorial management of the journal is run by Sigma Xi's partner J&J Editorial. CTNR recognizes the most significant pre-collegiate student research, provides mentor support and feedback during the review process, and ultimately publishes the best manuscripts in a high-quality online publication. Members interested in contributing to the development of future scientists by participating in review of submissions should visit ctnr.org.

David L. Goodstein, professor emeritus of physics and applied physics at California Institute of Technology, is a co-author of Science of the Earth, Climate, and Energy. The book addresses general readers and explains the principles of science, describes the evidence for the scientific consensus that human activities are contributing significantly to climate change, and addresses what individuals and societies can do to mitigate problems associated with both climate change and natural resources. Goodstein is a Sigma Xi member and received the Society's John P. McGovern Science and Society Award in 2000.
