Description

This talk explores the role of open access journals in science and physics education, focusing on the importance of publishing for students. Through practical insights and discussions, we will discuss the highlights and benefits of writing for students and the broader scientific community. In addition to discussing the theoretical significance of open access journals in science and physics education, this talk will also draw upon an operational experience in hosting a journal that offers free and open access for students. This perspective sheds light on the practical aspects of engaging students in the process of academic publishing. By providing a platform for students to actively participate in writing and submitting articles and to cultivate a deeper understanding of scholarly communication. Hosting a journal addresses a crucial gap often overlooked in
traditional educational settings, where students may not have sufficient opportunities to explore the machinery of academic publishing.
