A brief description of the methodology Muhlenberg followed to complete the research inventory (including the types of faculty and staff included as researchers)
Dr. Niesenbaum emailed his colleagues about their research and then sent all of them to an intern to record. The intern found more information about faculty research on Muhlenberg’s website, but was unable to find every professor’s area of research. To compensate for the missing information, we assumed that all full time professors, associate professors, and assistant professors are conducting research, since that is what is expected of them if they are employed by Muhlenberg.
