ACELG launches practitioner research guide
ACELG has released `Make Your Knowledge Matter: A Guide to Developing and Documenting Research`. This guide is designed to facilitate a greater role for practitioners in local government research by encouraging them to develop ideas, document good practice, and share their work with a wider audience.
The publication offers instruction on the production of research outputs, introduces the sort of thinking required in constructing academic work, and offers a number of relevant research examples that are likely to build the technical skills of practitioners seeking to enhance their own research capacity.
This guide builds on a suite of other ACELG initiatives to encourage a greater role for local government practitioners in sectoral research. It will also provide a valuable tool for those wishing to submit papers to the upcoming Local Government Researchers Forum to be held in June 2013.
