New Directions for Institutional Research

Overview of New Directions for Institutional Research

New Directions for Institutional Research is a quarterly sourcebook published by Jossey-Bass under the sponsorship and policies of the Association for Institutional Research. Each New Directions for Institutional Research issue focuses in detail on a specific topic relating to institutional research, planning, or higher education management in general. And beginning 2007, a supplemental issue will focus on assessment. The Editor-in-Chief selects the topics and issue editors in consultation with the Publications Board of the AIR. The issue editors are recognized authorities who assume responsibility for developing the volume and selecting appropriate individuals to write each chapter. The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for planning, coordination and quality control and exercises this responsibility by assisting each issue editor plan the volume, select appropriate chapter authors, and then review their work to ensure that they meet publication standards. Manuscripts from each author must survive a two-level review (volume editor and New Directions for Institutional Research editor) and meet standards for both content and style before they are published.

New Directions for Institutional Research volumes normally contain five to ten chapters that examine the various dimensions of each topic, summarize the latest information, and point to future directions. Volumes run 90 to 120 pages in length and have an annotated table of contents, explanatory headnotes, an index, and a list of sources for additional information. New Directions for Institutional Research has been one of the most successful in the Jossey-Bass series.
