Abstract
En 中文
We appreciate the thoughtful reactions of our colleagues to the no prescriptives, please proposal of Robinson et al. (2013), as well as the opportunity to respond to them. For the most part, our colleagues seem to agree that a problem exists in terms of unwarranted recommendations for practice appearing too often in educational research journals. At the same time, we realize that because our proposed policy is rather Draconian-in that it seeks to eliminate all recommendations for practice in all primary research journals-every responder mentioned that it was too extreme. This was intentional on our part. If, as Harris (2013) suggested, increased awareness and scrutiny become topics for further discussion among APA editors, then our modest mission will have been accomplished. In this rejoinder, we attempt to restate and clarify our proposal, along with its entailments, followed by brief comments on each responder's response.
