Research is as much about inciting action as it is generating knowledge. Too often, the success of research is measured by the final outcome of a peer-reviewed paper, and whilst data collection and publication is of course critical, stopping here is like closing a book after the first chapter. We need systems for reflection, means of translating our findings into action, and mechanisms to bring the fruits of our research back to those it analyses.
