Extending Social Research: Application, Implementation and Publication: Application, Implementation and Publication - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

• What are the responsibilities of those involved in social research for maximising the impact of research findings?
• How can social science researchers ensure that their work is widely publicized, applied and implemented?
• When should social research be extended or ended?

Drawing upon numerous examples, the book demonstrates the importance of considering the impact of research throughout the whole process. The contributors argue convincingly that an ethical approach to social science research requires a focus on the effectiveness of outcomes, outputs and responsibilities not acknowledged within the traditional research process.

This book also critically evaluates research production as well as the expectations placed on researchers by funders, the academic system and end users, arguing that from inception to completion, researchers need to pay attention to how their work could and should be used.

Extending Social Research rigorously examines the assertion that effective evidence-based social research can influence policy and practice and provides key reading for all those with an interest in the outcomes of research work, including funders, policy makers and researchers.
