Four principles for practising and evaluating co-production – a view from sustainability research
Drawing on the expertise of 36 co-production practitioners in the field of sustainability research, the blog article presents a new working definition of co-produced research and suggests how different elements of successfully co-produced knowledge can be understood and evaluated.

Co-constructing research: A critical literature review
This literature review was written as part of the project Co-Design: Learning Reflections, part of the Arts and Humanities Research Council’s (AHRC) Connected Communities programme. At the beginning of 2013 the Connected Communities program awarded 10 projects under a funding call designed to encourage “creative, innovate and ethical” ways of conducting research with communities, rather than on communities. This review was written to act as a conversation starter in order to develop a common baseline for shared learning and cross-project discussion.
The co-production of what? Knowledge, values, and social relations in health care
The co-production of what? Knowledge, values, and social relations in health care
This paper proposes that co-production can be understood as an exploratory space and a generative process that leads to different, and sometimes unexpected, forms of knowledge, values, and social relations. By opening up this discussion, the authors hope to stimulate future debates on co-production as well as draw out ways of thinking differently about collaboration and participation in health care and research.
