Comment:
The audience
Research lies at the center of most historians' practices as teachers and scholars, but historians tend not to be very reflective about how they teach it, conduct it, and ultimately disseminate its results. A number of new studies offer a fresh perspective from which to assess how historians teach research methods to undergraduates, initiate a research project, and ultimately publish the results of their work. Doris Malkmus, of the Pennsylvania State University Library, will report on the results of a survey of how American historians use primary resources in teaching undergraduates. Kirby Smith, of the Ithaka research group, will discuss the results of a qualitative survey comparing the research practices of historians to scholars in other select fields (biology, economics, and education). Margaret Dalton, of the University of Alabama’s School of Library and Information Studies, will discuss the results of a survey correlating historians' research practices to their perceptions about where and how to publish the results.
