I forward for information, as requested below, the following
message about 'The Science Education Review'. (I think I recall
passing on a similar message some time back.) Although I do not
know the editor's work, there are some familiar names among the rather
large editorial board (e.g. I spotted James
Wandersee, Ricardo Trumper, Christine
Chin, Joseph Novak). The journal
is aimed at teachers rather than the research community - so
submissions that focus on "the education
side of science education, as opposed to science content
proper" are returned as unsuitable for the journal. From
its website, the journal has some interesting features: each
submission is reviewed by 6 reviewers; the journal offers a
methodological review of a study prior to doing the work (for a fee);
and the journal publishes some papers free, and others (which are made
open access, and are given extra publicity) for an author charge. So
there is clearly no intention of being taken seriously as a research
journal, but it claims to offer practitioner's research based
articles, so I thought colleagues might be interested in knowing of
its existence.

Dear Fellow Science Educator
A comprehensive review of the international science education literature, plus
a wealth of readily-implemented classroom activities
for the busy primary and high school teacher
Just a brief message to introduce The Science Education Review (SER), a relatively new international science education journal. Please find details at www.ScienceEducationReview.com . A free trial is available, together with the special report, Top Six Latest Ideas in Science Education. Also, please find our open access papers at http://www.scienceeducationreview.com/open_access/index.html .
I would also appreciate you kindly bringing SER to the attention of colleagues, and others involved in our field, by sharing this message with relevant persons in your address book, please.
Sincerely
Peter
