Quality of Research

While many people aspire for quality research, there are different understandings of quality, priorities within a team, and perspectives about how to get there. The Quality of Research tool helps discuss these different ideas of quality.

The explanation of the Quality of Research Instrument by researcher and lecturer Linda van Ooijen-van der Linden.

By discussing each of these qualities within your team, you can identify strengths, areas for improvement and prioritise actions to take. There is no hierarchy to these qualities, or a particular order you have to discuss them in. Rather, each team will likely have different priorities and areas for improvement.

Discuss research in your team  

The Higher Education, Research and Innovation (HERI) research grouphas developed tools and workshops to discuss research integration  with your team. These instruments help you discuss different perspectives, define what 'quality' means for you, and what kind of research is appropriate for your context.  

Perspectives of Research - distinguish between scholarship, inquiry and research for your team.
