The NEACT Journal is published twice a year, usually in July and February. Regular columns on subjects such as NEACT history, analytical chemistry, involvement in the classroom, New England Chemists, forensic science, safety and health, green chemistry, and the literature of chemistry provide current updates and much food for teachers' thought. Feature articles on anything from new teaching/learning methods, to industrial chemistry, to careers in chemistry offer still more information. In addition, special features such as chemical puzzles, periodic table resources, or teaching tips provide even more help and inspiration for chemistry teachers everywhere. The Journal is distributed free to all members. For more information, please see a recent Table of Contents or the Journal's Guide to Authors. The editor of the Journal is Laura Rotondo. The distribution manager is David Crockett.
The most recent issue of the Journal is Winter/Spring 2008, 26 (2). Full text articles [Note: due to serious illness, publication of the Journal was halted for some time. A new issue is expected out in 2011.]
Guide to Authors
The focus of The NEACT Journal is current advances in chemistry, chemistry education, and chemistry with a New England regional flavor. Articles should be directed to a relatively wide range of reader interests and backgrounds. Articles and artwork or cartoons from students that meet these criteria are also welcome. Manuscripts, preferably 2 to 6 pages of single spaced type, must be submitted to the Editor (1) in electronic version either sent by e-mail or mailed on a CD or 3½ inch floppy; specify the name and version of the software used and whether the material was prepared on a Mac or PC.
