Publishing operational research from 'real life1 programme data: a better form of accountability

摘要

Publishing in peer-reviewed journals especially from programme work remains very limited in low-income countries, and several arguments have been advanced to change this situation. In this viewpoint we propose an additional argument for publishing operational research from programmes as a better ' form of accountability. We urge in this article that for those involved in programme design implementation, monitoring and evaluation including donors, if you do not publish articles'from your programme or research project, you have not accounted well enough.
