2000年期间在三个主要的北美高等教育期刊上发表的文章与在三个主要的英语非北美高等教育期刊上发表的文章（并与14个此类期刊的更大样本）进行了比较。比较的重点是他们的作者的位置，研究的主题，分析的水平，所采用的方法和方法论，以及方法和理论参与的明确性。与非北美样本相比，北美的文章表明北美作者占主导地位，更关注学生经历，机构和国家层面的研究，并且更强调多变量分析作为一种方法。北美样本中的文章也更有可能在方法和理论上都是明确的。对观察到的不同模式的可能原因进行了识别和讨论。
Articles published in three leading North American higher education journals during the year 2000 are compared with those published in three leading, English language, non-North American higher education journals (and with a larger sample of fourteen such journals). The comparison focuses on the location of their authors, the themes researched, the levels at which the analyses are pitched, the methods and methodologies employed, and the explicitness of both methodological and theoretical engagement. Compared to the non-North American sample, the North American articles evidence a dominance of North American-based authors, a greater focus on the student experience, and on institutional and national level studies, and a much stronger emphasis on multivariate analysis as a method. Articles in the North American sample were also more likely to be both methodologically and theoretically explicit. Possible reasons for the divergent patterns observed are identified and discussed.
