Praise for the Digest

"The selection of papers suites my eclectic mind perfectly, and the quality and clarity of the synopses is uniformly excellent. Thank you - and keep up the good work!"
Prof. Guy Claxton, Professor of the Learning Sciences at the University of Bristol Graduate School of Education.


"I tip my hat to you for your excellent, crisp, and useful research summaries...It's a wonderful service, both to researchers... by alerting people to their work... and to us information-hungry teachers and writers."
Prof. David G. Myers, author of Psychology, 7th ed., and The Pursuit of Happiness.


"Just a quick note to say how much I appreciate your Research Digests, and the work you must put into compiling them, tracking down and supplying all the relevant links..."
Robert Matthews, Science Correspondent, The Sunday Telegraph.
