SCAS Journal – New format and Focus!
Coming Spring, 2008
The SCAS Journal, in order to
better serve SCAS members, is undergoing a significant change in both the
publication frequency and the focus of articles published in the Journal.
SCAS has begun expanding its efforts relating to science and technology
research developments occurring in South
Carolina. We are particularly interested in South Carolina based
research that has national and international implications. This complements the
traditional role of SCAS in science education at all levels - middle school
through to Ph.D. The Journal will maintain it’s
on-line distribution format but is moving to four issues per year. The goal is to target the Journal at issues directly
impacting SCAS members and science in South
Carolina. We
anticipate publishing a Science Policy and Communication issue, a Science
Education issue, a Research in South
Carolina issue, and a Governors (SCAS) Award Special
Issue each year. The Journal will now
include peer-reviewed articles as well as provocative invited editorials and
reports relating to the state of science in South Carolina.
Section editors
for the SCAS Journal:
Alvin Fox, [USC] - Science Policy and Communication
Val Dunham [Coastal Carolina]
- Research in South Carolina
Hans-Conrad zur Loye [USC] - Governors (SCAS) Award Special Issue
- Science Education
All SCAS members are invited and
encouraged to submit articles and opinion pieces. Publication dates and call for papers for
each issue will vary and will be posted on this website in the near future. Deadlines also will be provided
in future newsletters. Due to the
format changes, research that has no South Carolina
connection will no longer meet criteria for inclusion in the “Research in South Carolina” issues. Templates to facilitate manuscript submission are in preparation.
