Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research

This journal is jointly sponsored by the American Association of Physics Teachers and the American Physical Society and is published only online. Bob Beichner is the editor, Sanjay Rebello is associate editor, and Ruth Chabay, Fred Goldberg, Ken Heller, Manjula Sharma, Carl Wieman (Chair), and Michael Wittmann are on the editorial board (until the end of 2010). Journal articles are published as soon as page charges are paid and editing of articles is complete.

The papers in PRST-PER are both experimental and theoretical in content. Because of its young age, there have been too few papers to know if any will have a large impact on the larger PER community.
