Alisa V. Moldavanova, associate professor and director of the Master of Public Administration program in the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. School of Public Policy and Administration, and a senior faculty fellow at the Institute for Public Administration, recently coauthored the journal article "What Do We Know About Asian Nonprofit Research?" A Systematic Review and Bibliometric Analysis of 60 Years of Progress and Regional Variations. Coauthors included Tamaki Onishi, Helen K. Liu and Naoto Yamauchi. Published in the Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly (NVSQ), this article aimed to facilitate the future development of theory and empirical research on Asian nonprofits by examining the accumulated knowledge from 60 years of scholarly research on nonprofits across Central, East, South, Southeast and West Asia. The findings of this research suggest both the advances and challenges associated with future Asia-focused nonprofit research, with a particular emphasis on the importance of conducting comparative studies. It also discusses directions to advance Asian nonprofit research and implications for general nonprofit research.
