Aims & Scope

The Communicating Astronomy with the Public Journal (CAPjournal) is the only fully open access peer-reviewed journal dedicated to astronomy communication. Science communication is an integral part of the scientific process, though it is often considered auxiliary. At CAPjournal, we are dedicated to the professionalisation and promotion of astronomy communication. We support this vibrant community with free to read and free to publish articles on a wide range of topics from virtual reality to mobile planetariums, and beyond. Our scope spans a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to, planetariums, museums, evaluation techniques, inclusive and accessible astronomy, and storytelling.
