Special
Call for Papers
Advances in Physiology Education
Topic: Using Classic Papers to Teach Physiology
Advances in Physiology Education is soliciting
submission of original manuscripts in concert with the APS Legacy Project
and its accompanying Essays on APS Classic Papers (http://www.the-aps.org/publications/classics/).
The purpose of the submission will be to describe, in
detail, how a classic paper published in an APS journal selected from the
Legacy Project (http://www.the-aps.org/publications/legacy/)
can be used to teach physiological principles to undergraduate or graduate
students. A vital component of this paper is a section entitled “Teaching
Points” which clearly outlines how an instructor might use the classic paper
in the classroom or laboratory. Also encouraged is the selection of a figure
and/or table from the classic paper that, along with a descriptive legend
with homework questions, can provide a handout for instructors to distribute
to students as a "discovery learning" project. The manuscript should also
have a short abstract giving a general description of the overall goal of
the submission.
The responding authors should indicate in their cover
letter that the submitted manuscript is in response to this call for papers.
The manuscript will undergo normal peer review. If published, the article
will be highlighted together with others appearing in response to this call.
Since it is vital that each APS classic paper result in
only one Advances in Physiology Education manuscript, please
contact Associate Editor Hershel Raff, Ph.D. (E-mail:
hraff@mcw.edu) if you are interested in preparing a manuscript.
