Guidelines for translators

sis — Fri, 12 May 2006 15:12:35 +0200

Science in School aims to promote inspiring science teaching across Europe. For this reason, we publish articles online in several European languages.

We are very grateful to all teachers and scientists who are willing to translate articles in Science in School from English into their native languages. If you are interested in helping, please email us (editor@scienceinschool.org), detailing your language skills, involvement in science education and translation experience.

Guidelines for reviewer panel

sis — Fri, 12 May 2006 15:03:35 +0200

When reviewing an article for Science in School, please complete and return this form.

In the form, you are asked to assess the style, level of detail and rigour of the article. You should also suggest how the article could be used by teachers (syllabus subjects, discussion topics or comprehension questions) and whether it could be made more appropriate for a European-wide audience.

If you recommend that the article is published, you should write a few paragraphs to be published together with the article. Please do not summarise the article. If we publish your comments, we will also mention your name and country.

Guidelines for reviewing books

sis — Fri, 12 May 2006 14:59:37 +0200

One goal of Science in School is to draw attention to books or other resources that would be useful and interesting to science teachers. These may be popular science books, films, websites or other resources. The guidelines below refer to books, but the principles hold for almost any type of resource.

The main purpose of a book review is to explain the scope of the book to the reader, and to discuss how well it achieves this purpose. You should also describe the quality of its contents, if possible by comparing it to similar works on the same topic that you might know of.

Guidelines for authors

sis — Fri, 12 May 2006 14:51:44 +0200

Science in School is read by teachers of all science subjects, as well as others involved in science education. Articles therefore need to be accessible and interesting to an audience with a general science background. They should not target specialists in individual science subjects.

Aim for an engaging, journalistic style. Most of our readers are secondary-school science teachers, and they should be able to use many of our articles in lessons, perhaps giving them to their students.

Note that all articles must be submitted in English. If we publish your article, we will also be happy to include translated versions on our website.

Submissions

sis — Fri, 12 May 2006 14:42:55 +0200

We welcome the involvement of everyone who is interested in European science education. Below are some ways in which you might like to get involved. Feel free to contact us with other ideas.

Science teachers

For Science in School to be a success, we need the involvement of enthusiastic science teachers. You might like to submit your own articles, join our panel of reviewers, tell us about education projects you are involved in, write reviews of books or other resources, or perhaps translate articles for publication online. See our guidelines for authors, the reviewer panel, book reviewers or translators.

About Science in School

sis — Fri, 12 May 2006 14:28:11 +0200

Science in School aims to promote inspiring science teaching by encouraging communication between teachers, scientists, and everyone else involved in European science education.

It addresses science teaching both across Europe and across disciplines: highlighting the best in teaching and cutting-edge research. It covers not only biology, physics and chemistry, but also maths, earth sciences, engineering and medicine, focusing on interdisciplinary work.
