Even in Information Systems many details of how a field trial or a
controlled experiment was conducted never appear in the professional
journal, also the instruments used in the study.
The New Jersey Institute of Technology started putting all Ph.D. thesis
on the Web two years ago.
We currently have created an on line webcenter for evaluation studies of
distance learning
http://www.alnrsearch.org under sponsor ship from
the Sloan Foundation and one of the main objectives is try and collect
the different evaluation instruments used in various studies for the
benefit of researchers in the field.
A great deal of very important information does not make many of the
journals because of limitations on just how much one can publish in a
single article.
