Peer reviewedSechrest, Lee, Ed. – New Directions for Program Evaluation, 1993
Two chapters of this issue consider critical multiplism as a research strategy with links to meta analysis and generalizability theory. The unifying perspective it can provide for quantitative and qualitative evaluation is discussed. The third chapter explores meta analysis as a way to improve causal inferences in nonexperimental data. (SLD)

Peer reviewedReichardt, Charles S., Ed.; Rallis, Sharon F., Ed. – New Directions for Program Evaluation, 1994
The eight articles of this issue examine the nature of differences that arise between qualitative and quantitative researchers in program evaluation in terms of goals and epistemologies. The origins of these differences and their consequences are explored. Authors represent both perspectives but do not defend their ideological turfs. (SLD)
