Abstract

• Evaluation is a relatively new, practice-based field
• Evaluation scholars lead the field by presenting their theories
• Evaluation theories are not based on empirical evidence
• Empirical investigation is required to establish the field of evaluation
• There were calls for more research on evaluation (RoE)
• The number of studies on RoE has increased in the past decade
• It is unknown whether RoE is important in the evaluation community
