A PIEs research compendium
A PIEs research compendium
NB: Some of the recently published research on PIEs is not yet available outside of specialist research-sharing websites, such as Researchgate, or Academia.edu.
We are attempting to obtain permission from authors and publishers to include them here, for 'lay' users of research as well as for the researcher community.
Caveats
Because of the length of time publication requires, much of the research so far published in journals has tended either to use PIEs 1, the earlier model of a PIE. Very few, if any, studies whose substantive work was done before 2020 can have used PIEs 2.
In some cases the papers refer only to 'PIE training' as the nature of the intervention. In some cases there is no clear distinction made between introducing 'psychology' and 'being psychologically informed' and the full PIE framework - even when using PIEs 1.
'Escaping the stranglehold of journal publication'
In an (excellent) critique of the demise of UK universities by Adrian Pabst, published in the New Statesman (but currently only publicly available behind a subscriber paywall) Dr Pabst comments on the need for a culture shift in universities to include the lay users of research as well as academics, but suggests that this may take a generation.
In a letter of reply (not published but available here), Robin Johnson has argued that in a field such as work with complex needs, we are doing that already. This item in the Library links to a samizdat copy of Pabst's original article.
