class Author Guidelines

Physics Education Research Journal (PERJ) is published twice a year. Articles published in this journal are the results of empirical research in  physic education field, including: physics education theory, physics learning, assessment and evaluation in physics, media of physics learning, physics curriculum, learning methods considering unity of science (local wisdom and enriched with the principal of religion and culture). The current issue of applied physics are also welcome, include: electronic and instrumentation physics, materials science, theoretical and computational physics, earth sciences, biophysics and medical physics, electromagnetism and optics, nuclear and particle physics.

Editors invite experts, practitioners, and enthusiasts in physics education to write a research article in this journal. Articles should be original, research-based, unpublished and not under review for possible publication in other journals. All submitted papers are subject to review of the editors, editorial board, and double blind reviewers. Submissions that violate our guidelines on formatting or length will be rejected without review.
