A Conceptual and Methodological Approach to the Identification of Peer Institutions.
Terenzini, Patrick T.; And Others
Research in Higher Education, v12 n4 p347-64 1980

Ways in which the methodology can be used for planning, administrative, and research purposes are discussed, as are the dangers in using "peer groups" for institutional planning and analysis.
