“The court of composition studies consists of scholars who are both knowledgeable about the range of existing research and contributing to one or the other types of inquiry about written discourse. They evaluate the quality of research and substantive reasons that support new work, guided by the degree of relationship between the work and the field’s ideals and score of unresolved problems. They also take into consideration man’s accumulated experience in all cultures and historical periods.”
Janice Lauer, from "Composition Studies: Dappled Discipline"
