The Joining the Dots Research Briefings examine and respond to key events and trigger points in Australian higher education.
JTD Research Briefings illuminate matters central to the strategic and operational contexts of Australian higher education. In 10 to 15 pages they provide focused analysis of core issues from a broad perspective.
This series is unique – each paper draws together cross-institutional national and international datasets, synthesises evidence, and provides clear, concise and objective analysis of facts and figures.
Led by ACER and edited by Dr Daniel Edwards, Joining the Dots draws on the expertise of independent tertiary education experts, national datasets and diverse analytical techniques.
JTD content is available through Informit.
