Journal Articles
From time to time, the Impact Evaluation Unit conducts a study that represents a substantial contribution to the broader field of study for the subject matter area. When this occurs, the Unit (where permissible) seeks to publish versions of its findings in academic and research journals. Publishing findings within the broader scientific community demonstrates Minnesota’s commitment to evidence-based policy, and provides an opportunity for the State to engage with research community to form fruitful relationships and promote future evaluation efforts.
