The first stage of the research involves the completion of a systematic map of the literature on embedded researchers which will be used as the basis for a systematic review. A protocol for the map is available to download here.
1. To generate a systematic map of evidence on evaluations of embedding researchers into policy, commercial or industry settings.
2. To identify areas where systematic reviews are needed (and feasible).
3. To identify gaps in evidence where further primary research is needed.
We are continuing to develop the review question and will update on this shortly.
