Physical Review Physics Education Research (PRPER)

Physical Review Physics Education Research (PRPER) is an international, open‑access, peer‑reviewed scientific journal published by the American Physical Society (APS) that focuses on the field of physics education research — the study of how people learn physics and how physics is best taught. Launched in its current open‑access format in 2016, it builds on an earlier APS publication (2005–2015) and serves as a central outlet for rigorous studies on physics teaching, assessment, curriculum innovation, learning theory, and related topics. The journal accepts detailed empirical and theoretical research articles, including replication studies, methodological advances, reviews, and studies introducing or evaluating new assessment instruments. Typical articles explore questions such as how students conceptualize fundamental physics concepts, how instructional interventions affect student outcomes, and how demographic or pedagogical factors influence learning. Because it is open access under a CC‑BY license, accepted manuscripts are freely available online to learners, educators, and researchers worldwide. PRPER’s commitment to quality is reflected in rigorous peer review and APS’s editorial standards, ensuring that publications are relevant both to physics education researchers and to broader physics teaching communities. With submissions and readership from around the world, the journal supports evidence‑based improvements in physics education at secondary and tertiary levels.
