Special issue on motivating physics learning through research applications

Submission Deadline: December 31, 2025Contribute to this Special Topic

Decorative imageThis special issue of AJP highlights how undergraduate physics topics are applied in physics research. Our goal is to provide compelling examples that instructors can teach in class or turn into exercises for students. Linking classroom instruction to current research topics is a valuable tool to make our courses more interesting to students.


Submission and acceptance criteria:

Papers should support instruction at the undergraduate level. The American Journal of Physics normally focuses on physics instruction beyond the introductory level, but this special issue may also include topics taught in introductory-level university courses. AJP normally also accepts papers aimed at graduate-level instruction, but this special issue should be aimed at undergraduate instruction.

  • AJP’s website, including editorial policies and information for submitters, can be found at http://ajp.aapt.org.
  • To submit to AJP, navigate to the journal’s submissions guidelines page.
  • During the submission process you will be asked if your manuscript is part of a special topic. Please answer “yes” and select “Special issue on motivating physics learning through research applications” from the subsequent drop-down menu.
