International Journal of Action Research, 2007, vol. 3, issue 1+2, pages 131 - 148 "AR is not just one more social science "method"; it is a fundamentally different way of conducting research and social change work together. Participation in AR is not just a moral value but essential to successful AR because the complexities of the problems addressed require the knowledge and experience of a broad and diverse array of stakeholders. I argue that there is no one ideal form of AR and that what is useful is situationally dependent which is also why AR cannot respect or operate within the disciplinary boundaries or departmental structures of academic. For these reasons, Morten Levin and I prefer to call our work "pragmatic AR". To complete the paper, I present two cases, one from industry and one from community development, to show how I practice pragmatic AR in context."

"Researchers typically know where to find journal articles, reference books, and other materials on topics that interest them-but it can be difficult to separate trustworthy blogs from those that might, intentionally or otherwise, spread misinformation. That's where the ACI Scholarly Blog Index, a curated collection of scholarly blogs for the academic market, comes in. It's the only repository of scholarly blogs that can promise researchers they're finding the best content, thanks to a rigorous vetting process and crowdsourced author updates."
