Hi (Once Again This Week), In addition to my previous e-mail about challenges of TD research, I also would like to ask about methods of integration. I have come across this many times as a term but unfortunately couldn't find much about the methods developed/used themselves. Assuming that almost all projects will require a unique integration method designed for its specific characteristics, I don't know why I do have the difficulty to find works explicitly talking about the integration method used.
If you know good resources on actual methods used or have experiences of yours, I'd appreciate much to hear about them. Thanks a lot in advance. Best Regards, A.

Below is a list of the challenges I identified so far through literature review: Challenges associated with knowledge integration University structure Researcher involvement (being embedded while keeping a critical distance) Contextuality (not always reproducible results and/or project specific methodologies) Quality assurance Incompleteness and uncertainty of knowledge ... Please feel free to add to this list and please direct me to any resources which talk about these (and other) challenges and possible strategies to overcome. Thanks a lot in advance. Regards, A.
