online submissions for Educational studies
Instructions for Authors
Aims and Scopes
In addition to its traditional book review format, Educational Studies invites articles, essay reviews, media reviews, essays dealing explicitly with pedagogical issues in the Social Foundations classroom, and poetry. Articles are expected to be relevant to Social Foundations scholars and teachers by detailing discipline-based or interdisciplinary research. Publication is determined by juried review. For more information contact Rebecca Martusewicz at the address below. All statements of fact and opinion are the responsibility of the individual authors and do not represent the official positions of Eastern Michigan University or the American Educational Studies Association.

Submission Guidelines for Reviews
Note: The Editor reserves the right to edit reviews received for publication and to reject or return for revision reviews that do not adhere to the Submission Guidelines.
Book reviews in Educational Studies are important scholarly contributions to the literature of education. Reviews are one way to help evaluate the quality of scholarship, to keep other scholars informed, and to examine important issues. A review should be looked at as an opportunity to critique scholarly work. In its own right, a review can be an original and creative contribution to scholarship. Emphasis should be given to the strengths, weaknesses, and possible implications of the work being reviewed. A careful analysis of the author's scholarship as well as the depth and breadth of the book is desirable. The reviewer should thus draw from his or her own knowledge, experience, and individual style when writing a review. The desired length of a review is 2,000 words. Please provide a word count at the end of the text. Lay out the bibliographic information and reviewer's name at the top of the first page as in the following example:
Learning Together: A History of Coeducation in American Public Schools. David Tyack and Elisabeth Hansot. New Haven, Conn.: Yale University Press, 1990. iv; 369 pp. $29.95; $XX.XX (include the cost of a paper edition if there is one).
