Abstract
This short reflection paper summarises lessons learnt about research excellence from the Citizenship-DRC network (“Development Research Centre on Citizenship, Participation and Accountability” or, Citizenship-DRC) and the emerging Collaboration for Research on Democracy (CORD) network. Both examples show how global research networks in development can challenge older, received models of North-South research partnerships. In the Citizenship-DRC network, over 150 locally-grounded cases were produced and synthesised in six volumes. In this report, some indicators are proposed that reflect excellence in the networked approach to research.
