New Directions in Teaching in Physical Sciences

https://journals.le.ac.uk/ojs1/index.php/new-directions

This is a good journal to start off your PER publishing journey, peer reviewed, but very supportive. Edited by Derek Raine. The journal seeks to promote developments in teaching and learning to practitioners and to the wider community through the publication of short reports and reviews and to support and encourage evidence-based teaching through the publication of research articles, particularly in the early stages of development.

There are five sections to the journal:

1. Editorial and opinion pieces on policy issues

2. Community Directions: Short reports of innovations or developments in teaching. These should be written in an accessible style for a general audience. Short reports of conference presentations may be appropriate for this section.

3. Research Directions: Research articles on pedagogy and outreach in higher education, directed towards evidence-based developments in teaching and learning and in the delivery of outreach.

4. Pedagogic Direction: Reviews of topics in pedagogic research and innovative practice

5. Book reviews: the journal will continue to publish reviews of books received

Sections 1 and 4 are usually by invitation but suggestions to the editor are welcome. Submissions to sections 2 and 3 are peer reviewed.
