Upcoming Webinars

Gathering, analyzing, and reporting alumni outcomes has become an increasingly burdensome task for universities as more entities request these data. Many universities rely on ad hoc or decentralized reporting processes that tend to supply inconsistent and unreliable information. Academic Analytics now has standardized processes to more comprehensively collect master’s, doctoral, and postdoctoral alumni outcome data to help institutions use these data for program review, legislative reporting, and beyond. Join us for a 30 minute webinar to learn more.

Their peer reviewed journal article Who’s writing Open Access (OA) articles? Characteristics of OA authors at Ph.D. granting institutions in the USA demonstrates that the democratization of the research literature through increased adoption of the OA publishing model may be skewed towards only a subset of scholars – those with greater access to resources and higher levels of job security.
