Research Administration A profession is by definition an occupation that requires extensive training. The viability of any profession therefore depends upon the acquisition and transfer of knowledge among its members.
Research papers allow research administrators to report the results of original research.
Articles should reflect the stages of the research process and be organized into distinct sections, i.e., introduction, materials and method, results, and conclusions, cited references, acknowledgments, tables and figures. Scholarly critiques organize, integrate and evaluate previously published information on research development and administration. Authors should identify contradictions, gaps and inconsistencies in this body of knowledge and recommend the next step or steps needed to resolve the problems identified. Reaction papers are articles in which the author responds to an article previously published in the Journal. Such articles may be initiated from the field or invited by the editor.
