The Encyclopedia of Evaluation is a first-of-its-kind who, what, where, why, and how of the field of evaluation. This volume chronicles the development of the field—its history, key figures, theories, approaches, and goals. The entries in this encyclopedia capture the essence of evaluation as a practice (methods, techniques, roles, people), as a profession (professional obligations, shared knowledge, ethical imperatives, events, places) and as a discipline (theories and models of evaluation, ontological and epistemological issues). The volume is published by Sage Publications.
