Tóm tắt

This article explores the similarities, differences and overlaps among research, evaluation and quality measurement. Criteria for determining the differences are offered as a quick guide to differentiating among them. These criteria are the purpose of the project, generalizability, intended use of the findings, intended subjects and intent to prove causation. Determining the key differences among research, evaluation and quality measurement facilitates the choice of restrictions, supports and reporting process that should be applied to each.
