Methodology Study (2003)
How should we assess and present information about the quality of research-doctorate programs? A Methodology study, published in 2003 in preparation for the current project, examined the strengths and weaknesses of the methodology used in the last Assessment which resulted in the 1995 Academies report Research Doctorate Programs in the United States: Continuity and Change.
