Guide for contributors

The Australian Journal of Education in Chemistry publishes refereed articles contributing to education in Chemistry. Suitable topics for publication in the Journal will include aspects of chemistry content, technology in teaching chemistry, innovations in teaching and learning chemistry, research in chemistry education, laboratory experiments, chemistry in everyday life, news and other relevant submissions.

Manuscripts are peer reviewed by at least two reviewers in addition to the Editors. These notes are a brief guide to contributors. Contributors should also refer to recent issues of the Journal and follow the presentation therein.

This Guide for contributors is available on-line as a PDF file.

Articles

Articles should not exceed six pages in the printed form including tables illustrations and references - ca. 5000 words for a text only document. Short, concisely written articles are very welcome. Please use headings and subheadings to give your article structure.

1. We prefer to handle all submissions electronically (submitted to Mauro Mocerino). Our preference is for Microsoft Word files in Mac format. However, you can send files from any common Windows, DOS or Macintosh word processor.
2. On another separate page provide an abstract of 50 to 100 words;
3. All photographs should be scanned and saved in JPEG format.
4. All chemistry structures, and schemes should follow the guidelines set for ACS publications. It is preferred that Schemes, Tables etc be arranged to fit in a column 7 cm wide, although full page width will be accepted.

Reference Styles

AusJEC reference styles are based on the most recent edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association OR the Journal of Chemical Education.

Your manuscript should not have been published already nor should it have been submitted for publication elsewhere. If AusJEC publishes your manuscript then it will become the copyright of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute. The RACI will, however, allow you to use the contents of your paper for most reasonable non-commercial purposes.
