Posting Physics Education Preprints



Many of you are familiar with the physics preprint archives at Los
Alamos ( http://xxx.lanl.gov/ ). I have discovered that they have started
a new general physics archive ( http://xxx.lanl.gov/archive/physics )
where one can post preprints on a variety of topics, including physics
education. Here's some information for those who are interested:

Physics

physics@xxx.lanl.gov is a fully automated e-print archive for physics preprints
(starting from Oct. 1, 1996)

For additional information, see this http URL . This archive is partitioned
by subject classification
keywords. The current list includes:

Accelerator Physics (subsumes acc-phys)
Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics (subsumes ao-sci)
Atomic and Molecular Clusters
Atomic Physics (subsumes atom-ph)
Biological Physics
Chemical Physics (subsumes chem-ph)
Classical Physics
Computational Physics
Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability
Instrumentation and Detectors
Fluid Dynamics
General Physics
Geophysics
History of Physics
Mathematical Methods in Physics
Medical Physics
Optics
***** Physics Education *****
Physics and Society
Physics Information Systems
Plasma Physics (subsumes the plasm-ph archive)
Popular Physics (covering Scientific American-level articles)
Space Physics

Submissions should include after the usual Title: , Author: lines, e.g.,

Subj-class: Biological Physics

When you submit the file of a preprint to PHYSICS E-Print Archive, it is
assigned a number and
stored in our archive. The author(s), title, and abstract of your paper are
distributed to our mailing
list the following morning, and those who wish to read the paper can
request the full text by e-mail.

When you join our mailing list, you receive new abstracts via e-mail once a
day (on days when new
papers have arrived at the archive). If you wish to obtain the full text of
a paper, you e-mail a
request to the archive, and receive the paper by return e-mail.
Alternatively, you can obtain
information and access the preprints via the WorldWideWeb.

To communicate with the archive via e-mail, send messages to
physics@xxx.lanl.gov
WorldWideWeb access is available via "this http URL"
Anonymous ftp access is available via xxx.lanl.gov
