Science and Institutional Research: The Links.

McKinney, E, Bernadette; Hindera, John J.

Research in Higher Education, v33 n1 p19-29 Feb 1992

The structure and process of college institutional research is compared with three different ways in which science is conceptualized. It is concluded that, although institutional research has much in common with science, it is distinct because the dynamic nature of institutional research prevents development of a cohesive body of knowledge.
