Welcome to The Physics Teacher Online (TPTO). TPTO publishes papers on the teaching of physics, and on topics such as contemporary physics, applied physics, and the history of physics—all aimed at the introductory-level teacher.
TPTO is now on the newest release of Scitation® which introduces simplified navigation, workflow tools, and audio streaming. One of the key features useful to TPTO users is a cleaner and more intuitively designed abstract view, with key article components presented in plain sight. All tools, data, and full-text options are easily accessible. A comprehensive set of article tools is provided, including functions to download article data in a variety of citation styles and formats, to share the article with colleagues, to be alerted when an erratum is posted, to capture a preformatted, persistent link to embed in a scientific blog or personal web site, and an article view optimized for handheld devices.
The editors welcome your comments on this new tool. Email us at tpt@appstate.edu.
