Journal of College Science Teaching
September 2007
Vol. 037 No. 01
We have all heard the maxim that we shouldn’t judge a journal by its cover. However, many of our readers have reported that administrators and peers sometimes misjudge the level of JCST’s content because of our attractive cover art. Our new cover was designed to be more appropriate to the exemplary, peer-reviewed papers and outstanding column contributions within the journal. We hope you like our new look.
