English Heritage has released its full report into research framework usage and application throughout England, assessing how different bodies use and apply research frameworks, their strengths and impacts as well as barriers to use.
The executive summary highlights a number of recommendations for moving forward in developing effective research frameworks, including the need for clarity in the role and purpose of the frameworks and examining possibilities for more interactive forms of publication.
EH writes that the Aim of the Strategy is ‘To ensure, within the context of the National Heritage Protection Plan (NHPP), that historic environment investigation is undertaken within a positive and progressive research culture to maximise public benefit and value for money.’
