Established in 2022, the ARL Monitor was relaunched in spring 2025 as a quarterly newsletter providing intelligence and insight on the research environment. Aiming not to break the news but to offer analysis and contextualization of thoughtfully curated content, the ARL Monitor helps set the context for member engagement with issues related to scholars and scholarship.
