Abstract

The findings presented here are derived from the systematic aggregation of data from seven independent evaluations of research quality. Each evaluation included a sample of research projects assessed using the RQ+ approach. The core dimensions of Research Quality Plus (RQ+) are: integrity, legitimacy, importance, and positioning for use. Research that is relevant, inclusive of local know-how, and easily actionable is science that can make a difference in peoples’ lives and livelihoods. RQ+ requires an evaluator to consider methods, plus additional dimensions of quality that underpin the greater value of science for society.
