Editorial Reviews

Egbert and Sanden’s text is a valuable resource for both novices and seasoned authors and reviewers. It provides important reminders about what to do and what to avoid when crafting research for publication. Their unique format, specifically invoking reviewers’ comments to identify areas of need,using examples to show where authors stray and hit the mark, makes potentially dull points come to life. I enjoyed and learned from this text – a combined benefit that I think a wide array of readers will share.

This book is a great resource for both young and experienced education researchers. I recommend this book for anyone who is willing to learn about academic writing and review. It’s useful and timely to have a book like this to help demystify the fairly complex publication process.
