Education in Science Submission Guidelines

Education in Science (EiS) is ASE's house magazine and is published termly in October, February and May.

This professional journal is where we share information and expertise from science educators and the wider science education community including STEM. It also helps to connect ASE members to current news and events, as well as sharing updates on ASE project and advocacy work. 

In this section, you will find more information about what to submit, when to submit and how to submit. 

Notes for contributors to Education in Science

Major articles fall into three main categories:

  • Requested articles addressing topical issues, or regular features
  • Unsolicited articles about current issues and initiatives, projects and events
  • Letters, opinion pieces and short news items from other organisations

Contributions are most welcomed in all categories. Please email lauratownsend@ase.org.uk if you have ideas, news or views, or are involved in initiatives that you feel would be of interest or benefit to our readership.

Articles should be between 700 to 1500 words in length and written in a straightforward and economical style, with minimal jargon and only essential references. Good quality images and illustrations are strongly encouraged. It is the author’s responsibility to obtain permission for the use of any material for which the copyright is held by a third party and to provide the appropriate credit. A brief indication of your current work designation should be included, which will be published at the end of the article.

Letters should be kept short, ideally less than 700 words, and Notes items should be no longer than 300 words. Letters and news items may be accepted after the copy deadline, provided that there is space available.

As for all ASE publications, we ask that you do not submit the same article to any other publication at the same time.
