The mission of the American Journal of Physics (AJP) is to publish articles on the educational and cultural aspects of physics that are useful, interesting, and accessible to a diverse audience of physics students, educators, and researchers. Our audience generally reads outside their specialties to broaden their understanding of physics and to expand and enhance their pedagogical toolkits at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
See the AJP Statement of Editorial Policy for a complete description of the types of manuscripts that are appropriate for AJP. Additional policies apply to manuscripts submitted to the Physics Education Research Section.
