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.
