In addition to the links to the research articles themselves, indented under many of the articles are links to blog entries or other summaries or commentaries about the research. What can you do with these summaries? First, you can read them yourselves as a quick way to browse current research. Then you can decide if this is research worth incorporating in class or assigning to your students. Second, the blog summaries can serve as good alternatives to the actual research articles to assign to students. A mixture of original research articles and such summaries exposes students to a greater number and breadth of studies. And, as many of us have learned, students are much more likely to read and discuss a one-page summary than a 15-page article for class. Also, these blog entries sometimes go beyond the original research to discuss other interesting issues and research.

This section of the Resources website includes links to articles that will or have appeared in peer-reviewed journals as well as peer-reviewed books and book chapters all available on the Web. Some are preprints, some reprints and some are simply copies of work graciously made available by the authors or publishers. For readings in your courses you might choose to point your students to some of these materials. Or, perhaps by browsing through some of the articles or chapters you will find some new ones of interest to you.
