Direct [OIII]4364-based metallicities show that galaxies with stellar masses 10^6.7-9 solar masses at z~6-8 are 0.3-0.5 dex more metal-poor than local galaxies of the same mass, with slope 0.25 and 0.2 dex scatter.

Discovery of an overdense 'Cosmic Archipelago' of young metal-poor star-forming galaxies at z~6.14 with one detailed example showing high Lyman-continuum escape fraction suggesting significant contribution to cosmic reionization.
The UV luminosity function at z~7 rises steeply with slope alpha=-1.98 to M_UV=-12.3 with no turnover, indicating faint galaxies dominate the ionizing photon budget during reionization.
Using lensed JWST data behind Abell S1063, the UVLF at z~6-11 is fit with gradual quadratic turnover, yielding no evidence for turnover to M_UV=-13.5 at z=6, exclusion limits on turnover models, and lower bounds showing faint galaxies contribute >50% of UV luminosity density and ~64% of ionizing pho
Luminous Lyα emitters at z≈6 are low-mass ultra-young dwarf starbursts with median Lyα escape fractions above 40 percent, driven by vigorous star formation and low dust content.

A Glimpse of the Low-Mass End of the Direct Mass-Metallicity Relation at $z\sim6-8$

Tilting at the Turnover: Modeling the Faint-End of the UV Luminosity Function Behind Abell s1063 with JWST
