  text: <jats:p>Physics textbooks are generally viewed as important tools that provide
    well-presented and reliable information that supports and enhances students' understanding
    of critical concepts. The main goal of this chapter is to find out what attention
    has been given to textbook evaluation in physics education research literature.
    Studies about physics textbooks from different countries and different eras are
    discussed and analyzed, and a broad overview about aspects that influence the
    efficacy of physics textbooks are presented. Research papers that discuss the
    importance and influence of digital textbooks (and similar technological resources)
    are also analyzed.</jats:p>
