Annually, Journal of Montessori Research editors publish an article highlighting recently completed doctoral dissertations. Our goal is to raise awareness of these important contributions to the field, as they are not widely indexed and may be stored only within institutional repositories or databases devoted solely to dissertations and theses. This year, we are modifying our approach to provide a broader overview of the range of works completed during the previous year. Rather than a detailed review of a small number of dissertations, this article provides a high-level analysis of the topics studied along with an annotated bibliography that includes reprinted abstracts from all dissertations identified in the database search described in the next paragraph. We identified 18 doctoral dissertations completed in 2025, for inclusion in this review.
