The journal focuses on effective collaborations between in-school and out-of-school STEM organizations/institutions and is a joint effort of NSTA (National Science Teachers Association) and ASTC (Association of Science-Technology Centers). You can learn more about it at http://www.nsta.org/publications/csl/, and review the first couple of issue at http://csl.nsta.org/. It is an open-access journal (i.e. free), so please subscribe to get future issues. Each issue of the journal is released in three parts, over a three-month period. While each issue has a theme, they also seek submissions that match the general goals of the journal, but may not deal with the theme of the issue.
Please contact Dennis Schatz (schatz@pacsci.org), the Field Editor of the journal, if you have any questions or want to discuss a possible topic for a contribution. Also, please share this information with other colleagues who are involved in projects that match the goals of the journal.
