Academic Journal Database
The purpose of this Database is to assist CSU faculty and others in accessing information
about a variety of educational journals, especially those publishing peer-reviewed articles
in reading, literacy, and teacher education. The impetus for this Database came from Dr.
Danny Brassell, California State University, Dominguez Hills, who compiled the
majority of the citations listed here. We appreciate Dr. Brassell’s generosity in sharing
this database; additional entries have been added to his original list, and we welcome
your advice as to other journals or publications that should be included.
The Center for the Advancement of Reading encourages all faculty using the Database to
carefully read and follow a journal’s requirements for submission of articles, as these
frequently change without notice. It is best to use the Journals’ submission procedures
included on their websites or in their print publications, rather than relying alone on the
information in this Database. The Center for the Advancement of Reading is not
responsible for any errors or omissions in this Database, and we welcome corrections if
any are found.

http://www.ala.org/BookLinks/
Book Links: Connecting Books, Libraries, and Classrooms is a magazine designed for
teachers, librarians, library media specialists, parents, and other adults interested in
connecting children with books. In response to the trend of using children's trade books in
the classroom, the curriculum role of the school library media center, the increased
programming in public libraries, and the heavy reliance of day-care centers and nursery
schools on children's literature, Book Links publishes bibliographies, essays linking books
on a similar theme, retrospective reviews, and other features targeted to a preschool
through eighth grade audience.
Writers interested in submitting to Book Links should have a strong background in
children's literature and should study the magazine for its style, approach, and focus prior
to sending a manuscript. An overly academic style should be avoided in submissions to
Book Links. Most articles in Book Links fall into the "Classroom Connections" category,
which focuses on a wide range of topics. "Classroom Connections" articles consist of a
brief introduction of 200-400 words, followed by a list of 20-30 books that advance the
subject, and in general should not exceed 3,500 words total.
Submission Procedures
Book Links accepts detailed queries and complete articles. Submissions are evaluated
within two months. Queries and articles may be submitted electronically (by e-mail or on
disk) or on paper. The submission should include author's name, mailing address, e-mail
address, fax, and telephone numbers. If the submission is accepted, a small honorarium is

We look primarily for two qualities: educational significance and readability. There is no
easy formula for achieving these goals, since there are many kinds of significance and
many different styles that are readable. However, we believe that to be significant an
article must in some way be usable by our readers – to enlarge their knowledge, to
improve their practice, to influence their decisions. We want it to deal with real problems.
We want it to be factual, logical, and well focused. To be readable, it should avoid the
use of jargon, it should include concrete examples, it should not waste words, and it
should display – if at all possible – some wit and erudition. Please submit manuscripts

Reading Research Quarterly welcomes the submission of research-oriented manuscripts
that make significant contributions to advancing knowledge and understanding of reading
and of literacy broadly defined. Articles published in RRQ are primarily reports of
original, rigorously conducted research employing diverse epistemologies,
methodologies, methods, and disciplinary perspectives. Other appropriate researchoriented articles include presentations of new theoretical perspectives, comprehensive
syntheses of research toward developing new understandings, discussions of
methodological issues, and scholarly analyses of trends and issues in the field. Pilot
studies, and other research efforts of limited scope or duration, are not typically
considered for publication.
Submission Procedures
All manuscripts and correspondence should be directed to Reading Research Quarterly,
University of Georgia, 309 Aderhold Hall, Athens, GA 30602-7125, USA. E-mail:

Research in the Teaching of English
http://www.ncte.org/rte/
The vision of RTE of what research in the teaching of English means is broad and
inclusive. As teachers (each of us taught high school English for over ten years before we
began teaching in universities), we have been influenced by a broad spectrum of research.
As researchers, we have considered a range of questions and have used a number of
different approaches in our attempts to answer those questions. As editors, we are
committed to publishing manuscripts that maintain RTE's tradition of excellence while
reflecting the diversity of sites, methodological perspectives, and ontological orientations
that have newly enriched literacy studies in recent years. We invite manuscripts that will
help us to fulfill this commitment.
Submission Procedures

Teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language
http://www-writing.berkeley.edu/TESL-EJ/
TESL-EJ began as the brainchild of a group of scholars who saw the need for a freelydistributed academic journal. It has grown to become an internationally- recognized
source of ESL and EFL information for people in scores of countries.
Our first issue was published in the spring of 1994, and contains an overview article by
Editorial Board member Roland Sussex. Since then, we have published a wide array of
articles and reviews, linking authors and readers on an international scale.
TESL-EJ is fully refereed--each article undergoes a review by at least two knowledgeable
scholars. Our goal is to shorten the time from submission to publication significantly
from what has become the norm in print journals. We aim for a decision in 6 weeks
(although 'human factors' occasionally cause delays).
Submission Procedures
Manuscripts may be sent in an e-mail message or by attachment in text-only or Microsoft
Word 6 format. Please send your manuscripts to: Maggie Sokolik, Editor, TESL-EJ,
sokolik@socrates.berkeley.edu
