(Volume 5)

Please cite this journal as Phys. Rev. ST Phys. Educ. Res.. For citations, use the volume number and year as given above; the article id (the six-digit number given below for each article) replaces the page number in traditional citations. Thus a citation should be in the form: N. D. Finkelstein and S. J. Pollock, "Replicating and understanding successful innovations: Implementing tutorials in introductory physics," Phys. Rev. ST Phys. Educ. Res. 1, 010101 (2005).
