Academic publisher SAGE Publishing has announced that four of its titles will receive awards from the Textbook and Academic Authors Association (TAA) at their annual conference on June 15. The only publisher that won in every award category, SAGE’s honours include: Qualitative Inquiry and Research Design: Choosing Among Five Approaches, fourth edition, by John Creswell and Cheryl N. Poth, received the McGuffey Longevity Award; Entrepreneurship by Heidi M. Neck, Christopher P. Neck, and Emma L. Murray, received the Most Promising New Textbook Award; Discover Sociology, third edition, by William J. Chambliss and Daina S. Eglitis, received the Textbook Excellence Award; and Becoming an Academic Writer: 50 Exercises for Paced, Productive, and Powerful Writing, second edition, by Patricia Goodson, received the Textbook Excellence Award.
TAA’s Textbook Excellence Award (“Texty”) recognises excellence in current textbooks and learning materials, while the Most Promising New Textbook Award honours first edition works and the McGuffey Longevity Award recognises in-demand textbooks and educational materials that have been in print for at least 15 years. All of the awards are granted based upon the works’ pedagogy, content/scholarship, writing, and appearance and design. This year, TAA named 17 Texty awards, five Most Promising New Textbook awards and four McGuffey Longevity awards.
TAA will present the awards at their annual conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on June 15. SAGE Publishing and TAA will also release a free collection of articles at the conference to support academic writers, titled ‘Write with Purpose, Publish for Impact.’ Written by research methodology expert Dr. Janet Salmons, the articles can be accessed on the online community site MethodSpace.
