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?. . Aimed at social researchers, students and research
commissioners, this book is about the application, implementation
and publication of social research. It focuses on the tasks of
making findings available and ensuring that applied social research
makes a difference to peoples lives.
. . 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. .
