 Thus far, 212 have been published in 2016

               1102 were published in 2015

               1015 were published in 2014 

Of all Walden dissertations

Next time, I will work through an example of IRB issues. Do you have an issue or a question that you would like me to discuss in a future post? Send me an email with your ideas. leann.stadtlander@waldenu.edu
