q1 · i? · theoretical · r1

This is the editor's stated opinion, offered with no evidence or argument beyond citing his own earlier published interviews and profiles; the article presents it as a personal stance, not a tested finding.

"I have publicly communicated my distaste for the direction AERA has taken over the past 20 years — less about research and more about politics — in, of all places, AERA journals (e.g., Robinson 2004; Robinson and W ainer 2006)."
