Questions Arising from Transdisciplinary Experience

Christian Pohl's working paper at http://www.transdisciplinarity.ch/e/Publications/ suggests several criteria for evaluation (and provides references to further sources):

· Broadness: What range of disciplines, methods, phenomena [theories], and actors were embraced? How innovative and suitable were the choices?

· Is the need for integration justified?; Is the integrative process and what was integrated clearly explained?; [several more detailed questions regarding assessing grant proposals are provided]

· Are there opportunities for reflection in the research?

· Has the problem been well described and a reasonable answer provided? [again there are more detailed questions for reviewing a grant]
