Maybe try the International Journal of Science Education – part B science communication and public engagement

Hi,

For putting work on public record in the peer-reviewed literature, if there isn't an obvious subject-specific journal I find "megajournals" useful. If they cover social sciences, that should include education and public engagement. Or if they include the discipline covered by the activities (e.g. science) that's appropriate too.

We've published on a short paper on an engagement event in SpringerPlus (now closed to new submissions) and are preparing a short paper for BMC Research Notes. There are a few others along these lines, e.g. PLoS ONE, and I think Heliyon.

These journals are huge and varied and I suspect are not read regularly as they come out, in the way that subject-specific journals or TES will be. So for a mechanism for people to find the article, you might check the journal is covered in Web of Science and/or PubMed - or as a minimum, Google Scholar.

These journals tend to be open-access, which seems particularly sensible for public engagement! The paper is obviously more rigorously checked than a blog and far more permanent. The down-side is, you may have to find funds to pay an open-access charge. Some funders can help with this.

- Daniel

Dear All,

Can anyone suggest suitable publications for a general science/education readership who would be interested in a story about setting up and running networks of schools and other organisations to run science outreach projects? So, not a science journal and not an education journal - somewhere where the two overlap. There are the obvious places such as TES, Guardian etc but any other suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks,

Jeremy
