Evidence with clear limits

Research and Data

IASCU’s research approach is based on transparent questions, proportionate data collection and accurate reporting of limitations.

Activities

Research may include surveys, evidence reviews, institutional case analysis and collaborative enquiries.

Principles

Projects should state purpose, method, participation, data handling, funding, conflicts and limitations.

Data access

Access to non-public data is governed by purpose, consent, security and an appropriate retention period.

Participation

Institutions receive sufficient information to understand what participation involves and how findings may be used.

IDSCU

IASCU publishes and administers the International Database of Schools, Colleges and Universities as a separate public information service with documented methodology, release controls and sector-specific data boundaries.
