Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA) is edited by Sherman Dorn and published jointly by Arizona State University and the University of South Florida.  Founded in 1993 by Gene V Glass, EPAA remains the best-known online journal in education.  It includes a surprising number of articles related to mathematics education in rural places.

Articles for this page are selected based roughly on the frequency of instances of the world "rural" and "mathematics" and a scanning of content.  This is not a high standard for the intersection of rural education and mathematics education, but the representation of issues relevant to rural mathematics education policy in this journal is nonetheless remarkable.  The number of relevant articles has doubled since we began tracking EPAA in 2001.
