Seven quality choicepoints for ARJ
Reflexivity and interdisciplinarity
Purpose Reflexivity supports research teams in developing and implementing interdisciplinarity perspectives, but there is still limited literature on this topic. To fill this gap, we explore how reflexivity can support a research team in its interdisciplinary efforts to create new knowledge for disaster risk reduction. Design/methodology/approach We present the reflexive journey of our interdisciplinary research team consisting of Ecuador- and UK…
Raising the Bar
Facing the great scale of societal challenges, philanthropic organizations are increasingly calling for systems change. Evaluating systems change requires innovative approaches that respond to the complexities of such change in ways that support equity and multiracial democracy rather than undermining them. A key concern in evaluating systems change is how to do so rigorously. Rigor has traditionally been equated with evaluative criteria such as …
Rethinking rigour to embrace complexity in peacebuilding evaluation
The field of peacebuilding evaluation has evolved over time in response to the complex nature of peace efforts. However, it still predominantly relies on evaluation models that aim to measure discrete peace outcomes adhering to rigid notions of rigour. The inclusive rigour framework presented in this article responds to this challenge, adding to complexity-aware and epistemologically plural approaches to build credible causal explanations in cond…

Evaluating Research for Development
Large publicly funded programmes of research continue to receive increased investment as interventions aiming to produce impact for the world's poorest and most marginalized populations. At this intersection of research and development, research is expected to contribute to complex processes of societal change. Embracing a co-produced view of impact as emerging along uncertain causal pathways often without predefined outcomes calls for innovation…
How are Research for Development Programmes Implementing and Evaluating Equitable Partnerships to Address Power Asymmetries
The complexity of issues addressed by research for development (R4D) requires collaborations between partners from a range of disciplines and cultural contexts. Power asymmetries within such partnerships may obstruct the fair distribution of resources, responsibilities and benefits across all partners. This paper presents a cross-case analysis of five R4D partnership evaluations, their methods and how they unearthed and addressed power asymmetrie…

What is good action research
Refreshing our purpose with Action Research journal Our purpose since inception with this international, peer-reviewed journal is to offer a forum for participative, action-oriented inquiry into questions that matter-questions relevant to people in the conduct of their lives, that enable them to flourish in their organizations and communities, and that evince a deep concern for the wider ecology. Our purpose has not changed. The world around the …

Identifying opportunities to improve governance of aquatic agricultural systems through participatory action research
Apgar, J. M., P. J. Cohen, B. D. Ratner, S. De Silva, M.-C. Buisson, C. Longley, R. Bastakoti, and E. Mapedza. 2017. Identifying opportunities to improve governance of aquatic agricultural systems through participatory action research. Ecology and Society 22(1):9. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-08929-220109
Moving Beyond Co-Construction of Knowledge to Enable Self-Determination
It is increasingly recognised that co-construction of knowledge which brings together researcher-derived understanding, with local, practitioner or non-researcher understanding is necessary to address current global challenges. Emerging empirical evidence suggests challenges remain in bridging across scales and ensuring inclusion of the marginalised. It is unclear whether espoused approaches are in practice enhancing the wellbeing of those curren…
Getting beneath the surface in program planning, monitoring and evaluation
Many rural poor and marginalized people strive to make a living in social-ecological systems that are characterized by multiple and often inequitable interactions across agents, scale and space. Uncertainty and inequality in such systems require research and development interventions to be adaptive, support learning and to engage with underlying drivers of poverty. Such complexity-aware approaches to planning, monitoring and evaluating developmen…
Understanding adaptation and transformation through indigenous practice
Apgar, M. J., W. Allen, K. Moore, and J. Ataria. 2015. Understanding adaptation and transformation through indigenous practice: the case of the Guna of Panama. Ecology and Society 20(1): 45. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-07314-200145
Managing beyond designations
A significant portion of the world’s biocultural diversity is found within indigenous territories, where indigenous peoples have historically managed a coevolutionary relationship between their communities and their land. This suggests that endogenous processes within indigenous territories are important for a continued nurturing of biocultural diversity. Emerging designations used for conservation of biocultural diversity can be useful, but by t…
