Research Involvement and Engagement
|November 21, 2017
Summary
Research Involvement and Engagement (RIE) advances patient and public involvement in health research. Continued efforts are needed to embed co-production as standard practice in research, with support from publishers and funders.
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Patient and Public Involvement
- Co-production in Research
Background:
- Research Involvement and Engagement (RIE) journal launched two years ago as an interdisciplinary, co-produced publication.
- Focuses on patient and public involvement and engagement throughout health and social care research.
- Now indexed in PubMed Central, aiming to build a robust evidence base for best practices in public involvement.
Discussion:
- RIE's open access model democratizes research by providing free access to all publications.
- Acknowledges progress but emphasizes the need for further integration of involvement and engagement into routine research practices.
- Highlights the crucial role of publishers and funders in normalizing co-production of knowledge.
Key Insights:
- RIE's objective is to publish in-depth reports on public involvement to inform best practices.
- Open access publishing is a key strategy for making research more accessible and democratic.
- Embedding patient and public involvement requires systemic change supported by various stakeholders.
Outlook:
- Future development is needed to strengthen patient and public involvement and engagement.
- Collaboration with editorial boards, authors, reviewers, and readers is essential for progress.
- The journal aims to be a catalyst for a cultural shift towards co-produced research.

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...
