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.
