Publications & Research

 
Research, evaluation, and scholarship are closely related endeavors. Research is the systematic discovery or collection of information or knowledge; evaluation is the formal determination of efficacy or value; and scholarship is the thoughtful sharing of information, knowledge, or expertise. They are related because acceptable evaluation and scholarship rely on the procedures of formal research.
