Peer reviewedSauter, Vicki L.; Mandell, Marvin B. – Evaluation and Program Planning, 1990
Use of decision support systems (DSS) to increase the utilization of management science models and accounting information is discussed. It is argued that application of the conceptual foundations of DSS to evaluation and other forms of applied social research is an effective means of increasing evaluation utilization by policymakers.

Direct linkRanson, Sonya L.; Boothby, John; Mazmanian, Paul E.; Alvanzo, Anika – Journal of Continuing Education in the Health Professions, 2007
Introduction: As the use of personal digital assistants (PDAs) grows, the value of reflection of learning and practice draws increased attention from policymakers and evaluators. To learn more about the use of PDAs in practice and learning, the present study describes use of (1) PDAs in patient care and (2) a PDA version of the Virginia Board of…

Curry, Guy L.; Coulson, Robert N.; Gan, Jianbang; Tchakerian, Maria D.; Smith, C. Tattersall – Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society, 2008
Disturbance-generated biomass results from endogenous and exogenous natural and cultural disturbances that affect the health and productivity of forest ecosystems. These disturbances can create large quantities of plant biomass on predictable cycles. A systems analysis model has been developed to quantify aspects of system capacities (harvest,…
