Studies in Writing, Volume: 40
This book takes a fresh look at the challenge of setting up educational writing intervention studies in authentic class contexts. In four sections, the book offers innovative approaches on how to conceptualize, design, implement, and evaluate writing interventions for research purposes. Hot topics in the field such as professional development for scaling up writing interventions, building research practice partnerships, implementation variation and fidelity, and response to intervention are addressed. To illustrate the proposed approaches for writing promotion, the book showcases a wide variety of writing interventions from around the world, ranging from single-participant designs to large-scale intervention studies in writing.

Abstract
To date, a variety of research method books across different research fields were published. Given the specificity of each research field, the importance of having methodology guidelines aligned with the specificity of each field becomes increasingly important. In the field of writing research, a research method book outlining methodological guidelines for conducting high-quality intervention research in writing was lacking. With this new volume we aim to move the field of writing research further along by discussing methodological issues researchers may face when conceptualizing, designing, implementing, and evaluating writing interventions in various educational contexts. Across four sections, we provide innovative theoretical and practical solutions to these methodological issues, which are illustrated by recent and inspiring writing interventions. This volume is not only beneficial to writing researchers, but also to researchers in other educational fields, as it addresses crucial methodological issues and approaches and consequently support researchers in setting up a methodologically sound research plan for conducting high-quality writing intervention research.
