The American Journal of Physics is a monthly, peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Association of Physics Teachers and the American Institute of Physics. The editor is David P. Jackson of Dickinson College.[1][2][3][4]
Aims and scope
The focus of this journal is undergraduate and graduate level physics. The intended audience is college and university physics teachers and students. Coverage includes current research in physics, related topics, instructional laboratory equipment, laboratory demnostrations, teaching methodologies, lists of resources, book reviews. In addition, historical, philosophical and cultural aspects of physics are also covered.[3]
History
The former title of this journal was American Physics Teacher (vol. 1, February 1933) (ISSN:0096-0322). It was a quarterly journal from 1933 to 1936, and then a bimonthly from 1937 to 1939. After volume 7 was published in December 1939, the name of the journal was changed to its current title in February 1940. Hence, the publication begins under its new title with volume 8 in February 1940.[3][4][5]
