Review of Educational Research

Aims & Scope

The Review of Educational Research publishes critical, integrative reviews of research literature bearing on education.

Such reviews should include conceptualizations, interpretations, and syntheses of literature and scholarly work in a field broadly relevant to education and educational research.

RER encourages the submission of research relevant to education from any discipline, such as reviews of research in psychology, sociology, history, philosophy, political science, economics, computer science, statistics, anthropology, and biology, provided that the review bears on educational issues.

RER does not publish original empirical research, and all analyses should be incorporated in a broader integrative review.

RER will occasionally publish solicited, but carefully refereed, analytic reviews of special topics, particularly from disciplines infrequently represented.
