Science and Institutional Research: The Links.
McKinney, E, Bernadette; Hindera, John J.
Research in Higher Education, v33 n1 p19-29 Feb 1992

It is concluded that, although institutional research has much in common with science, it is distinct because the dynamic nature of institutional research prevents development of a cohesive body of knowledge.
