When we began AARC in 2019, we had no idea how many great research proposals we would see, nor how many important journal articles and other research outcomes would be produced. From explorations of academic hiring networks to studies of the tenure process, and from research on equity in the research ecosystem to investigations of publishing trends, it’s safe to say that the AARC experiment has been a great success – all of the published research can be read here. We are overjoyed to see the many applications of Academic Analytics data towards the improvement of higher education research.
Given the positive response to making Academic Analytics data available to outside researchers, we currently do not have the resources to process new requests. In time, we will begin an exciting new phase in our evolution, soliciting research projects and again inviting qualified scholars to apply for access. We will update you here on the blog and in our social media feeds as we near that time.
In the meantime, we wish to thank all the scholars who have made use of our data so far, and all those who have read and acted upon this research. Thank you all, we are looking forward to the next phase of AARC!
