Communicating Astronomy with the Public

Public communication of astronomy provides an important link between the scientific astronomical community and society, giving visibility to scientific success stories and supporting both formal and informal science education. While the principal task of an astronomer is to further our knowledge of the Universe, disseminating this new information to a wider audience than the scientific community is becoming increasingly important. This is the main task of public astronomy communication — to bring astronomy to society. The CAPjournal is a free peer-reviewed journal for astronomy communicators, online and in print.

Journal of Research in Science Teaching

Journal of Research in Science Teaching (JRST) focus on studies in which deep, disciplinary understanding of science provides the foundation for the work, and where student learning outcomes are featured. Manuscripts might focus on instructional design, student leadership, learning technologies, experiential activities, interdisciplinary projects, and so on. But in every case, we are interested in evidence-based research that speaks directly to the details of disciplinary understanding that derives, for example, from studying task performances and artifacts, or from analyses of interviews and other direct sources of data, as opposed to using test-taking or grading performance as surrogates for student learning.

Journal of Science Communication

Journal of Science Communication (JCOM) is an open access journal on science communication. Since the world of communication and the scientific community are now undergoing a rapid and uncertain transition, JCOM wants to provide some theoretical guidelines both for scholars and practitioners in the field of public communication of science and technology.

JCOM adopts a free circulation of information and non-eurocentric perspectives, encompassing heterogeneous visions such as gender studies, social history, action-research. Furthermore, JCOM is a platform where distant communities can meet: academic scholars, journalists, museum operators, and scientists who live and work in fields where theoretical reflection and concrete action are strongly intertwined.
