【内容简介】 Education in Chemistry is the only magazine in the UK aimed at teachers of chemistry at all levels. The magazine is divided into seven "departments":
Column: This section, written by the editor, in-house staff and other contributors, aims to reflect recent developments/issues arising in chemical education, including international items when relevant. Column also includes information on available resource material a diary and news of events that promote a positive image of chemistry for schools and universities. Contributions from readers of between 300-500 words are welcomed, but owing to the topical nature of this section it is advisable to contact the editor in advance.
Letters: There is usually space for the most pertinent letters intended for publication. Short letters, ca 300 words, have the best chance of quick publication. The editor, however, reserves the right to cut letters to a suitable length for publication authors see proofs before publication. Education in Chemistry is currently offering ￡10 book tokens for every letter published.
Feature articles: These are usually not more than 2000 words in length with 3-5 display items (including figures, photos and tables) the average time to publication is 12-18 months, but shorter, topical articles - around 1200 words - can often be published more quickly. The policy adopted is to include one article that is of general chemical interest - either a current awareness article or an historical one - which should have appeal to both secondary and tertiary teachers. The remaining articles are divided equally between the two sectors and every attempt is made to retain a balance between theory and practical work. (It is not the policy of Education in Chemistry to publish primary research papers, but rather to make the results of chemical education research accessible to practising teachers.)
Within these guidelines, the Editor operates a referee/reviewer system and where necessary calls upon members of the Education in Chemistry Editorial Board for advice and arbitration. Unsolicited articles are examined first by the Editor and then, if considered broadly suitable, are sent usually to two referees. After considering the advice from the referees, the Editor advises the author(s) on the best way of proceeding. The Editors decision on the acceptance of the articles is final.
Distillates: This section looks at recent chemical research as reported in some of the primary chemistry journals.
Reviews: Books, computer software and videos relating to teaching, course work and background reading, as well as texts relating to science education generally are sent to specialist reviewers.
Endpoint: This is intended to be an outspoken "soapbox" for individual comment. These articles - around 800 words long - are not refereed and controversial contributions are welcome.
InfoChem: This is a regular pupil supplement, aimed at 14-18 year olds studying chemistry. It is written by the Editor, in-house staff and other contributors to reflect chemistry in the world around us. Interaction with readers is encouraged via competitions, and other various items.
