Grounded in the renewed focus on research on evaluation (Coryn, Noakes, Westine, & Schröter, 2011; Mark, 2007; Peck, Kim, & Lucio, 2012), which is motivated, in part, by a desire for evidence-informed practice, this paper calls attention to the need to discern larger patterns across studies. It argues that without clarity and consistency regarding the types of information reported on in evaluations, the larger picture of the evaluation enterprise will remain unclear. As first steps toward addressing this issue, this paper presents initial work being done toward the development of a set of standards for improving the clarity and consistency of reporting on evaluations as a means to strengthen evidence-informed practice, and highlights current review and revision efforts.
