A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
Although the college requests Faculty to self-report research. Although it was our initial intention to use these reports, it was determined that a good portion of people do not self-report, it is not mandatory.
Also, we are not a research institution, and a lot of our efforts are more on student research. When you start going into student research, it gets fuzzy what does and does not count as measurable research. Does a research paper count?
Considering these elements, we chose to consider research which was published in a peer reviewed journal in the past two year by faculty. To gather this info, it was suggested that we communicate with our office coordinators. They have regular communication with all faculty in their area, and usually work with faculty as they are publishing. We sent a request to the coordinators.
Due to the personal nature of this communication, we are confident in the accuracy. We believe our low numbers are because of the restricted nature of our scope, not due to lack of reporting.
