Abstract Details
Your abstract should not be longer than 450 words and must be in English. It should present research or teaching ideas related to both physics and education, and align with the aims of GIREP - ICPE - EPEC 2017. Your research or teaching idea must not have been published previously. On-going studies or developing ideas, if properly contextualized and accompanied with preliminary results, are welcome.
In the case of a symposium submission, the chairperson of the symposium should provide a 450 word abstract which outlines the symposium. The chairperson is also responsible for submitting the abstracts for each proposed presentation.
The abstract should contain text only please – so do not use tables, figures, or equations.
The entire abstract must be less than 450 words. Failure to comply with the prescribed formatting will lead to automatic rejection of the paper. Insert references like this [1].
Keywords: mandatory.
Between one and five keywords should be included. Please keep to one line and leave one blank line before and after this section.
Acknowledgements – optional section
An Acknowledgement section is not obligatory. Please leave one blank line before and after this section.
References – expected but not mandatory
A reference section is expected but not obligatory. To save on space, use a form of Chicago style that is about as condensed as possible: number, first author only followed by “et al”, year in brackets, journal abbreviation in italics, volume in bold, start page only. For example: 1. D. Hestenes et al (1992) Phys. Teach. 30 141.
You can alter your abstract(s) at any time up to the submission deadline of 12th March 2017 (midnight GMT).
