The Correlates of Consultation: American Academics in "The Real World"

Marver, James D.; Patton, Carl Vernon

Higher Education, 5, 3, 319-35, Aug 76

Desirability and effects of consulting are discussed by analyzing data from a sample survey to determine types of consulting and characteristics of consultants. Most are graduate teachers who have published more and are younger and higher in rank than their colleagues. (JT)
