The research methods used by scholars in each of our domains address distinctive issues related to objectivity and, thus, validity. The authors contributions to The Research Quarterly have been modest, numbering about 240 articles, or slightly over 3 per volume. In short, they have enjoyed only a minority presence in The Research Quarterly during its 75 years of existence. The authors stories, however, also diverge in important ways.
