Journal of EDScience
"Part of what it is to be scientifically-literate, it's not simply, 'Do you know what DNA is? Or
what the Big Bang is?' That's an aspect of science literacy. The biggest part of it is do you know
how to think about information that's presented in front of you." - Neil deGrasse Tyson (2014)
The Journal of EDScience is a project to help protect the ideas and findings of the interstellar scientific community. Our goal is to create an environment
where publications never get misplaced and to encourage more detailed research. The journal accepts submissions from anyone with any background,
and articles will be subject to a round of peer review prior to publication. Authors can choose to write as much or as little as they like, so long as their
ideas are clear. Because we are still in our early formation process, please be patient with us as we work out the kinks in the system.
We would like to emphasize that posting a reply to this thread is strictly discouraged. Before reading any publication be sure to check that it was posted by user
"EDScience". Otherwise, we cannot guarantee its quality or accuracy.

Drafting a Submission
Before considering drafting a submission make sure you do your reading first. It is possible that another CMDR already published relevant results. Once you are ready to draft your article, find the approved JEDS format file attached to this thread (View attachment JEDS_submission_format_02_09_3303.txt), or click here. Please keep in mind that the length of your paper is entirely up to your discretion and longer papers are not necessarily preferred over shorter ones. You are free to write as many or as few sections as you like, but we ask that you stay within the format we have provided: Abstract, Introduction, Background, Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements, and References in that order. If your article strays too far from the accepted format, you will be asked to make changes before your submission is accepted.
Submitting an Article
Send your submission in the accepted format (see 'Drafting Submissions') in either a private message to EDScience here on the forums, or email it to edscience.journal@gmail.com. You must attach a ".txt" file either directly to the private message or email and/or send a URL to a copy/paste service such as pastebin containing your submission. Unless you specify otherwise, we will assume that the means by which you contacted us is your preferred method of communication, and we will send further information and requests through those means. If you wish to be contacted on a different email address, please include the appropriate address in your submission.
Once you submit your article, we will get in contact with you with further information.

Referencing a Paper & Deciding Author Order
Be careful when deciding which author comes first in a paper, because that author is who will get recognized the most. Typically, you want to make sure the member of your group who did most of the work come first. If you are not sure how to order the author names, discuss it among yourselves before submitting a paper to JEDS for peer review. If you are still confused, refer to this helpful article from the US National Library of Medicine.

This is an example of an in-line citation (EDScience, 3303). EDScience (3303) provides detailed descriptions for citing papers. It is very helpful (Anonymous & EDScience, 3301).
For more than 2 authors:
Citing papers can sometimes get a bit tricky (EDScience et al. 3303). Jane Doe et al. (2964) showed that it's easy once you get used to it, though!
