Sections of the Journal
Astronomy Education Review encourages submissions in any area of astronomy and space science education. The journal/newsletter has seven distinct sections:
- Research and Applications: includes review articles and refereed papers on research in astronomy education (both new work and papers reprinted from other journals), along with ideas about how to apply results of such research in “real life.”
- Innovations: features short reports on innovative techniques, approaches, activities, and materials. These reports should convey the essence of the innovation and include ways that interested readers can learn more.
- Resources: presents annotated lists of useful resources for any branch or arena of astronomy education.
- Commentary and News: includes opinion pieces and occasional new items of interest to readers.
- Reviews and Excerpts: describes, evaluates, and occasionally publishes excerpts from books and other materials of interest to educators at all levels.
- Letters to the Editor: publishes short submissions about ideas, lessons learned, opinions, reactions to articles, etc.
- Opportunities: has short announcements of funding sources, cooperative projects, employment (please include only jobs that are 50% or more education), workshops and symposia, etc. In most cases, such announcements are 1-2 paragraphs, with a web link for further information.
When you submit a contribution, please indicate which section you are submitting to.
