Belzer, Alisa – Studies in the Education of Adults, 2009
In this paper, I report on the work of a practitioner inquiry group that went awry when the sponsor refused to publish and disseminate the participants' final reports, stating that they were of poor quality and did not contribute to the knowledge base.

Shadish, William R. – American Journal of Evaluation, 1998

Singh, Ram – Education, 1984
