Research Reports
Research worth reading — including our own.
This is where we share the research shaping the questions we study: credentialing, AI practice, program models, and the future of certification. Much of it is work done by others across the field — each piece summarized and credited to its authors, with the implications drawn out for the people who have to act on them. Our own studies are pinned to the top as they publish: read what the field has found, then see where our evidence takes it.
Worth your time, and credited
The research we think matters, summarized fairly and attributed to the people who did it.
Our read on what it means
What the findings imply for strategy, programs, and decisions — the part a citation alone won’t give you.
Our studies, pinned on top
When one of our own studies publishes, it sits at the top of this page, so the primary evidence is easy to find.
A note on attribution: external research is always summarized and credited to its original authors; the analysis and implications are ours. The Currency of Credentials publishes October 1, 2026.
