Abstract
New academic researchers need resources to effectively learn how to conduct inclusive research and meaningfully engage co-researchers with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This rapid review aims to address: What online resources are available in 2024 for new academic researchers seeking to learn about inclusive research methods and what is the quality of those resources based on a set of criteria for assessing quality in inclusive research? A search of the literature was conducted. In total, 11 resources were included. A checklist with 11 items was developed to assess the quality of these resources. Results suggest a range of checklist criteria met among the resources. Among the 11 checklist items, some were consistently met while others were frequently overlooked. This study brings to light a need for addressing how senior academic researchers make resources for complex research methods available to others. Additionally, it demonstrates the importance of developing comprehensive, self-paced training with implementation support.
期刊介绍:
The principal aim of the journal is to provide a medium for the exchange of best practice, knowledge and research between academic and professional disciplines from education, social and health settings to bring about advancement of services for people with intellectual disabilities. The idea of a practice-led journal is both exciting and timely. This journal serves as a medium for all those involved with people with intellectual disabilities to submit and publish papers on issues relevant to promoting services for people with intellectual disabilities.
