FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AERA and SAGE Announce Journals Publishing Partnership

Washington, DC; Thousand Oaks, California;=A0 London, United
Kingdom; New Delhi, India; and Singapore (November 13, 2006) -
The American Educational Research Association (AERA) and SAGE
Publications are pleased to announce their new publishing
partnership. On behalf of the AERA, SAGE will begin publishing
the following six peer-reviewed journals, effective January 2007:

* American Educational Research Journal
* Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis
* Educational Researcher
* Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics
* Review of Educational Research
* Review of Research in Education

The AERA seeks to advance education research and to promote the
use of high-quality research in educational policy and practice.
The Association is the national professional organization for
approximately 25,000 members located in colleges and
universities; research institutions; and governmental,
non-profit, and private sector organizations in the United States
and throughout the world. The Association's highly regarded
journals significantly enhance SAGE's already renowned list of
education and research methods journals. Four of the six AERA
titles are currently ranked in the Thomson Scientific (formerly
ISI) Journal Citation Reports, with a fifth journal recently
accepted for inclusion.

SAGE will make the journals available electronically via SAGE
Journals Online (SJO). Each journal web site on SJO will go live
upon release of the journal's first 2007 issue (Educational
Researcher in January, all others in March). With this improved
online availability, users will now be able to access the robust
=A0research published in the AERA journals more easily using SJO's
advanced features to search, browse, alert and link scholarly
articles. Both current and archival content will be available.
Librarians will also benefit with access to COUNTER-compliant
usage statistics for these journals.

All six titles will be made available through SAGE's
award-winning, full-text database, Education: A SAGE Full-Text
Collection.

"The Association is pleased to have identified a publishing
partner in SAGE that is dedicated to the foundational purposes of
a research society and the AERA's commitment to affordable
scholarly dissemination of the highest quality," emphasized
Executive Director Felice J. Levine. "Our selection of SAGE
allows the Association to work in a very collaborative way in
publishing on a world-wide scale and thereby to serve our
members, the broader education research community, and all who
benefit from solid knowledge about education and learning-now and
for the future." "We are delighted to be selected as the
publisher of these premier scholarly journals because, like the
AERA, SAGE is dedicated to education and to education research.
We believe both our missions and the content we publish make this
an ideal partnership," stated Alison Mudditt, Executive Vice
President of SAGE's Higher Education Group. "We look forward to
offering the AERA superior publishing solutions and support, as
well as delivering excellent customer service to their members."
