Methods and procedures of transdisciplinary knowledge integration: empirical insights from four thematic synthesis processes
Hoffmann, S, Pohl, C, Hering, J, G (2017)
What methods and procedures support transdisciplinary knowledge integration? We address this question by exploring knowledge integration within four thematic synthesis processes of the Swiss National Research Programme 61 Sustainable Water Management (NRP 61). Drawing on literature from inter- and transdisciplinary research, we developed an analytical framework to map different methods and procedures of knowledge integration.
