About the journal
Research in Science & Technological Education publishes original research from throughout the world dealing with science education and/or technological education. It publishes articles on psychological, sociological, economic and organisational aspects of science and technological education, as well as evaluation studies of curriculum development in these fields. Its main aim is to allow specialists working in these areas the opportunity of publishing their findings for the benefit of institutions, teachers and students. It is hoped that the journal will encourage high quality research that will lead to more effective practices, behaviours and curricula in science and technology within educational establishments.

Manuscript preparation
1. General guidelines
- Manuscripts are accepted in English. Any consistent spelling and punctuation styles may be used. Please use single quotation marks, except where ‘a quotation is “within” a quotation’. Long quotations of 40 words or more should be indented with quotation marks.
- A typical manuscript will not exceed 8000 words including tables, references, captions, footnotes and endnotes. Manuscripts that greatly exceed this will be critically reviewed with respect to length. Authors should include a word count with their manuscript.
- Manuscripts should be compiled in the following order: title page; abstract; keywords; main text; acknowledgements; references; appendices (as appropriate); table(s) with caption(s) (on individual pages); figure caption(s) (as a list).
- Structured Abstracts of 300 words are required for all manuscripts submitted. The purpose of the structured abstract is to provide clear, detailed and consistently presented information to readers, giving all the important information relating to the article so that the reader can determine the relevance of the article. This will also be very useful to researchers and readers when searching databases of abstracts. Finally, a structured abstract will help authors to structure their articles to include all the relevant sections.
-
The structured abstract should be up to 300 words long (this is separate from the word count allowed for the article itself) and should use sub-headings to alert the reader to different sections. Different sub-headings will apply for different types of article (see examples below).
