| Abstract | This study examined the relationship between writing quality, readability, and selectivity in 17 higher education journals. Readability was assessed through two indexes of readability. Data were analyzed using zero-order Pearson product-moment correlations, independent two sample t-tests, and analysis of covariance. Findings show that quality of writing and readability did not vary as a function of selectivity. Journals that were more selective featured significantly more complex forms of writing, and journals with more general topics were significantly more selective than those with a more specialized focus. Two appendixes contain scoring categories for the Flesch Reading Ease index and a list of the publications reviewed for the study. (Contains 3 tables and 30 references.) (SLD) |
