Welcome to Study and Scrutiny: Research on Young Adult Literature, Volume 5/Issue 1. In this issue, the editors sought out critical and empirical articles for the theme, Creative Contamination: Generating Enrichment Through Adaptation. Scholarship includes empirical and critical studies, along with interviews and book reviews, all focused on adaptation in young adult literature. Since three empirical studies utilize Critical Comparative Content Analysis (CCCA) as a method, Mark Sulzer shares a brief overview of the method he helped develop in the issue's "Introduction." Additionally you might want to check out a new feature, "Teacher Round Table," a space for in-service teachers to bring their own scholarship to the work of one of our studies.

Welcome to Study and Scrutiny: Research on Young Adult Literature, Volume 4/Issue 1.

Study and Scrutiny: Research on Young Adult Literature is a journal that maneuvers between and within scholarship in the established fields of children’s and adult literature. More and more graduate students are studying young adult (YA) literature; more and more critical and empirical thesis and dissertation studies are being completed. However, this scholarship is still a trickle rather than the torrent it could be because publication venues for chapter-length articles have been few and far between. Study and Scrutiny: Research on Young Adult Literature harnesses the power of such scholarship in ways that will expand the field.
