An Instrument for Evaluating Survey Research Reports was developed after synthesis of the suggestions of experts. A reliability study was conducted with articles from the field of elementary school mathematics education and raters from that field as well as from educational psychology and members of a research organization. Estimates of inter-rater agreement ranged from .80 to .95, while estimates of reliability for a single rater ranged from .34 to .86 for these judges. The instrument is suggested for use not only in evaluation but also in planning and developing research studies.
