GUIDELINES
FOR SUBMISSIONS
|
|
N.B.
All those interested, please read carefully. In practice, most authors
do not conform to guidelines; this causes extra work and delay. In short,
PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING:
- As
with Volume 1, no publication fee will be imposed for Volume 2.
- Articles
must be original or review papers that report CHEMISTRY/SCIENCE
EDUCATION RESEARCH or work on the PRACTICE OF CHEMISTRY EDUCATION.
- Language
can be English or French.
- Include
an abstract of no more than 200 words, plus a list of keywords.
- Submit
three paper copies of the manuscript double-spaced on A4
paper, plus a diskette containing the same text as word for
PC file. The electronic text can be e-mailed as attached file. Avoid
using special formatting procedures.
- PLEASE,
FILL-IN AND SEND TOGETHER WITH THE MANUSCRIPT THE FORMS THAT ARE
IN THE END OF THIS DOCUMENT. Pay attention to classify your
manuscript into one of the following categories: (CHEMISTRY/SCIENCE
EDUCATION) RESEARCH REPORT - RESEARCH COMMUNICATION (short report
of preliminary or unpublished or work due to be published in extended
form elsewhere) - REVIEW OF RESEARCH - SHORT REVIEW OF RESEARCH
- PAPER or NOTE (short paper) or REPORT ON THE PRACTICE OF CHEMISTRY
EDUCATION.
Authors
of original manuscripts who would like their work to be considered for
publication in CERAPIE, are invited to submit their manuscripts as follows:
- Papers
must be original. They should not have been published or submitted
for publication elsewhere, and must be concerned with research in
science and chemistry education or the classroom practice of chemical
education. In the case of papers on the practice of chemistry
education, priority will be given to papers that are based on
the findings of science and chemistry education research, as can
be judged from references to related bibliography
- Language
of the manuscripts must be either English or French. An abstract
and a list of key words in English is required in all cases (plus
an abstract and key words in French if the language of the paper
is French). Texts should be written in readable language,
without grammatical and spelling errors that may inhibit comprehension.
In the case of English, British or American spelling may be used,
but consistently. If necessary, please consult a person with good
command of the language. This is a very important issue, because
manuscripts written by non-native speakers are often poor as far
as language is concerned. Note that we do not demand a perfect
use of the language, but expect contributions to be in a form that
can be understood and easily be corrected/improved by reviewers.
- To
ensure an objective evaluation of the manuscripts, all new submissions
(apart from manuscripts of papers presented in the 5th ECRICE) will
be reviewed anonymously. Authors then are requested not to
mention in two copies of the manuscripts their names or the place
and country of origin. Self-references should be made as follows:
Author (a) has found that / It has been reported that (Author, b).
In the references for journal articles, only the name of the journal
must be mentioned. The names of the conferences should not be given.
For books, only the publisher must be mentioned.
Examples:
Author (a). Science Education.
Author (b). Paper presented in International Conference.
Author (c). Book. Wiley.
Author (d). Chapter in book with collected papers. New York: Wiley.
In the same spirit, references to national publications (journals or
books) should be made as follows: Article in (e.g.) Greek; Book (in
Greek); Paper presented in Conference (in Greek). Author (a). Science
Education.
N.B. One copy of the manuscript must be complete with authors' names
and full references.
CERAPIE
is not a profit-making publication. All cost so far (Volume 1) is covered
by the revenues of the 5th ECRICE. We are in the pleasant position
to announce that 5th ECRICE will cover the cost of Volume 2, 2001 as
well. This means that there will be NO PUBLICATION FEE for all
new submissions for Volume 2. Volume 2 will consist of three issues
that are to be published in February, May, and October 2001. It will
include articles both from and outside the 5th ECRICE.
Please
see published papers in CERAPIE for the format and style of the text,
the figures and tables, and in particular the references.
Manuscripts that deviate from these guidelines, format and style, will
be put in the review process, but authors will be notified to conform
to the guidelines and resubmit their manuscripts after acceptance or
on submission of a revised manuscript.
Submit
three paper copies of the manuscript double-spaced on A4 paper,
plus a diskette containing the same text as word for PC file, to the
following address:
Dr.
Georgios Tsaparlis (for CERAPIE);
Department of Chemistry, University of Ioannina,
GR-451 10 Ioannina, Greece.
