Aim of the Journal The aim is to foster awareness of philosophical aspects of mathematics education and mathematics, understood broadly to include most kinds of theoretical reflection and research in mathematics education; to freely disseminate new thinking and to encourage informal communication, dialogue and international co-operation between teachers, scholars and others engaged in such research and reflection.

Editorial policy.  This is an international refereed journal that aims to stimulate the sharing of research for no reason other than a love of ideas and their discussion. The editorial hand is used very lightly. Many types of submission  are welcome including papers, short contributions, discussions, provocations, reactions or reviews. Graduate students are warmly invited to submit relevant assignments and theses for inclusion in the journal, to make resources available to the research community, that might otherwise be inaccessible, in mathematics education and/or the philosophy of mathematics. Already published papers and conference presentations can be republished in this journal to broaden their availibilty, provided authors obtain any necessary permisions.

Format of submissions: Please send any items for inclusion to the editor as a virus-checked attachment in MS Word or compatible formats. There are no strict guidelines – authors are requested to make their submissions look like previously published papers – especially the first page headers, etc.

Refereeing: All papers are submitted to peer-review on which decisions whether to accept, require revisions or reject are based.

Copyright Notice.  All materials published herein remain copyright of the named authors, or of the editor if unattributed. Permission is given to freely copy the journal contents on a not-for-profit basis, provided full credit is given to the author and the journal, and the integrity of papers is preserved.

Acknowledgement The journal is made possible by the generous support of University of Exeter Graduate School of Education STEM Research Centre. Special thanks are due to Jo Moncur and the Research Centre director Professor Rupert Wegerif.
