Abstract

This literature review looks at the way in which the researcher-practitioner relationship is described in research publications. The main finding of this review points to: a limited description and discussion of the relationship; a similarly limited, sometimes confusing, understanding of the notion of collaboration; as well as limited self-reflection, sometimes accompanied by taken-for-granted attitudes on the part of the researchers.
