Description
David and Lucie explore the principle Developing Research: “This principle is born from our experiences being involved in research for development. It recognises the active need to develop new research methodologies that make use of new data opportunities that are increasing availability.”
They argue that traditional research methodologies, developed in an era of data scarcity, are no longer sufficient in the current era of data abundance. David emphasizes the need for new research methodologies that make the most of extensive data opportunities to create impact-oriented research. They discuss the importance of rethinking research purposes, such as serving communities and addressing complex societal issues, rather than merely advancing theoretical knowledge.
