Innovation in Ph.D. Programs and Scores in Reputational Rankings.

Webster, David S.

New Directions for Higher Education, n46 p31-39 Jun 1984

Systematic work is needed to show how innovation, experimentation, and lack of orthodoxy in research and teaching affect Ph.D. programs' ratings in academic quality rankings. (Author/MLW)
