This panel continues the joint initiative of ASPA and EGPA started a year ago in Belgrade and will feature cases of engaged research in public administration and a dialogue about strategies for publishing such research. Panelists will be invited to share their experience with communities and practitioners, with the aim of exploring what it means to be an engaged researcher in our field. The discussion will also highlight recommendations for positioning engaged research within the broader literature. Invited editors will point to strategies and good examples of efforts to justify and explain engaged research methods to a broader audience of prospective peer reviewers and journal readers. The panelists will be invited to share common pitfalls and recommendations for responding to peer and editorial comments.
