A Research Agenda.
McLaughlin, Josetta S.; McLaughlin, Gerald W.
New Directions for Institutional Research, n88 p109-17 Win 1995
Concerns about published comparisons of colleges and universities are organized into a framework to guide further research. A systematic method for addressing specific issues about the guides is presented, and the environment in which the guides are used is examined. Research needed to assure that the guides make a valued contribution and are fair to various stakeholders is noted. (MSE)
