Reflections on impact assessment research scholarship from editor and academic perspectives

Morrison-Saunders, A. and Retief, F. (2015) Reflections on impact assessment research scholarship from editor and academic perspectives. Journal of Environmental Assessment Policy and Management, 17 (01).

Abstract

Reflections on impact assessment research scholarship are presented drawn from our experiences as journal editors and academics with respect to the nature of impact assessment research and the quality of impact assessment research writing. We support the call for more empirical impact assessment research studies, especially large and longer-term studies. While the international field of impact assessment research is healthy overall, we would like to see better international and multi-disciplinary collaboration. We also urge careful attention be given by impact assessment research writers to having clear aims, robust methods accounts and to write rigorously and insightfully for the international impact assessment journal readership.
