Really important from @_JeanLebel @IDRC_CRDI: argues "Southern only research is high quality" & offers better ways of assessing it, which start from rigour & quality but also recognise context, relevance, engagement with stakeholders, capacity strengthening. @INASPinfo teapawt.net/NatureNews/status/1014…
The dominant types of research evaluation take a narrow view of what constitutes quality - often undervaluing unique solutions to unique problems. go.nature.com/2KL65fL
