Methods for the Experimenting Society.
Campbell, Donald T.
Evaluation Practice, v12 n3 p223-60 Oct 1991
An experimenting society is one that vigorously tries out proposed solutions to recurrent problems and then tries other alternatives if evaluation shows that previous efforts are ineffective or harmful. Methods that social scientists could use if the experimenting society becomes a reality are explored. (SLD)
