The four-year old American Educational Research Journal (AERJ) is emerging from its toddler stage. Its policies, objectives, and practices are new and malleable. Of what significance is AERJ on the present educational research scene? In what ways do its emphases and functions differ from those of other educational research journals? What kinds of papers has it published? How do educational researchers view it? Nearly all agree that AERJ has become a valuable publishing outlet for the research and ideas of educational researchers, but how important has it become and is it likely to become? Journal vivisection is an uncommon practice. Indeed, the reviewers know of no similar attempts in either the psychological or the educational literature. Our format is thus governed more by intuition than by precedent. We have approached the task, for example, by using contemporary content, historical perspective, and instrumental values as frames of reference. Contemporary AERJ content has been assessed internally; historical frame of reference has been derived from early volumes of the Journal of Educational Psychology (JEdP); functional status has been evaluated by comparisons with the JEdP and, to a lesser extent, with the Journal of Educational Research (JER) and the Journal of Experimental Education (JEE).
