Sections of the Journal

Astronomy Education Review encourages submissions in any area of astronomy and space science education. The journal has seven distinct sections:

1. Research and Applications: includes review articles and refereed papers on research in astronomy education, along with ideas about how to apply results of such research in “real life.”
2. Innovations: features short reports on innovative techniques, approaches, activities, demonstrations, and materials. These reports should convey the essence of the innovation and include ways that interested readers can learn more.
3. Resources: presents annotated lists of useful resources for any branch or arena of astronomy education.
4. Commentary and News: includes opinion pieces and occasional new items of interest to readers.
5. Reviews and Excerpts: describes, evaluates, and occasionally publishes excerpts from books and other materials of interest to educators at all levels.
6. Letters to the Editor: publishes short submissions about ideas, lessons learned, opinions, reactions to articles, etc.
7. Opportunities: has short announcements of funding sources, cooperative projects, employment (only jobs that are advertised in the AAS Job Register and are 50% or more education will be considered), workshops and symposia, etc. In most cases, such announcements are 1-2 paragraphs, with a web link for further information.
8. Extended Thesis/Dissertation Abstracts: Succinct summaries of theses that are directly relevant to astronomy education.

All submissions for Sections 1 and 2 will be sent to an external referee. At the discretion of the editor(s), most of the submissions for the remaining sections are also peer reviewed.
