What's New at AER?
Astronomy Education Review celebrates its 10th anniversary of publication this fall. The journal now publishes the overwhelming majority of research papers about astronomy education. In the first eight months of 2011, AER had readers in 98 countries and had 14,000 unique visitors to its site. In the future, we want to increase the number of papers on research in education and outreach outside the formal classroom and welcome contributions that do so.
