Education Review Publishes Reviews
The Education Review is an open access journal that has published reviews of books in education continuously since 1998. Its address on the world wide web is http://edrev.asu.edu.
Education Review has inaugurated a new section of peer-reviewed essay reviews, and welcomes submissions to this new department. Essay reviews are special peer-reviewed articles that examine in depth one or more recent books of particular significance on a single topic. Essay reviews are generally between 5,000 and 10,000 words in length, although longer reviews are welcome. For instructions on submitting a manuscript for possible publication, see the website.
