Article formatting and submission
Contributions to the WFPhC Newsletter are very much encouraged. We are looking for articles reporting on particular events or reflecting on one’s experience with physics competitions, also from a student’s perspective, for articles presenting different types of competitions where specific initiatives are presented in detail, but also for articles on research of relevance to physics competitions.
All articles should be prepared in MS Word format and formatted according to this Author’s Template. Authors should follow the instructions in the template as well as common standards for scientific articles. In particular, articles are expected to have an abstract, an introduction, and a conclusion and be properly referenced.
Articles submit by email to Karel Kolář, karel.kolar@fykos.org.
