Hi all,
at the recent DAC there was a session where we discussed how we as a community can collaborate more regarding research. The slides from that session are available from here: Academic Paper Writing Discussion/workshop (dryfta.com)
There is a lot of interesting research (published and unpublished) going on around DHIS2. Research using data from DHIS2, research on DHIS2 implementation approaches, use cases, research on solving long-standing challenges as improved information use, etc. A range of different methods are used, and we speak to different audiences; global health, ehealth, information systems, international development, and more. The idea discussed at DAC is to see if we can build some structures around these topics to help us communicate, collaborate, and share experiences.
Research collaboration can be many things, not necessarily only joint research and publications. We discussed for instance ways to share findings, relevant research, discuss research ideas and knowledge gaps, relevant outlets, or arrange webinars on topics or for instance research methods. This is up to us as a community to decide.
To start the process I invite you to share your thoughts on this here. What research are you doing? What topics are of interest? What would you like to discuss with the community? How can we best increase the visibility of all the learning coming out of the community? How can we support a DHIS2 research forum/community?
