AstroEduCon - Conference Proceedings

SUBMISSION DEADLINE:

2nd October 2023

Articles can now be submitted for the AstroEdu Conference 2023, published as a special issue in the Astronomy Education Journal.

We hope the conference proceedings become an important reference for the field as it progresses forward. We hope the proceedings capture a broad picture of the field as a whole that is entertaining and enlightening to read. With this spirit, we request that articles are relatively concise and to the point while also retaining some character, polish and flourish. 

Please actively reference, where credit is due, other examples and ideas in the literature, especially those that contrast, complement or pre-date your own. As this field publishes in a variety of different locations, it has been quite difficult in the past to identify relevant research. This is especially true of education researchers looking for literature in the scientific literature and vice versa. 

There are no fees to be paid either as an author or a reader. The proceedings will be open access and provided through the Astronomy Education Journal (AEJ). Colour images and figures are encouraged as the primary distribution mechanism will be online.

Each conference proceedings article will be reviewed by at least one reviewer with more than one invited at the discretion of the editor/s. Authors who submit conference proceedings will be required to review at least two manuscripts.
