Practice research is advanced as a collaborative, context-sensitive approach that challenges hierarchical models of evidence and foregrounds co-produced knowledge. Method: Drawing on the Sixth International Conference on Practice Research at Aalborg University, Denmark, the 11 special issue articles explore service user involvement, positionality, and organizational conditions shaping inquiry. Results: The introduction synthesizes cross-cutting themes from the articles into an integrative framework linking epistemic justice, co-methodologies, and institutional supports for co-learning and improvements in practices, structures, and policies. Discussion: The introduction concludes by advancing implications for practice researchers, practice research processes and projects, and sustainable practice research pipelines. Collectively, the special issue highlights practice research's potential to inform knowledge development and support systemic transformation. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Editorial src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
