*If you work in an institution which subscribes to RSC journals, then it
is best to access the journal through your institutional login (the
server does not time you out so quickly - requiring you to login again -
and you should have the choice of htlm viewing of articles or pdf
downloads as you prefer).
*
*
However, ANYONE who registers at the RSC website can access the articles
as pdf downloads for free, as part of the Royal Society of Chemistry's
mission to support educational work in chemistry.

*
*The journal, the top rated research journal in chemistry education,
invites high quality original perspectives, research reports (including
systematic evaluations of chemical education practice), and reviews of
areas of work directly related to chemistry education (see
http://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2012/rp/c1rp90058g for
further details). All submissions are screened by the editor, and
decisions on publication are informed by peer review.
