“…As we turned to the research of others, we noted reciprocity was most frequently seen as something transactional, a kind of interaction between researcher and participants that forefronted issues of power and obligations ( Tubaro, 2021 ; von Vacano, 2019 ). We observed that reciprocity is often framed as “user/patient involvement,” “participant/community engagement,” “‘paying’ for people’s time,” or as “giving voice.” We wondered about our lack of attention to developing a more explicit concept of reciprocity in narrative inquiry, with attention to the importance of engaging in the relational through coming alongside participants with an openness to uncertainty ( Dewey, 1929 ), to be perplexed ( Addams, 1902 ), to be astonished ( Minnich, 2014 ), and to change ( Connelly & Clandinin, 1990 ).…”

In this article, we develop, through drawing forward fragments of our experiences, a concept of reciprocity as always situated within the relational ontology of narrative inquiry. Reciprocity is most commonly understood within a transactional sense, an exchange of goods. We show important aspects of reciprocity in narrative inquiry, including the importance of intentionally creating and responding to spaces where reciprocity occurs and can be sustained over time and place, and the potential reciprocity holds to change who we, and those with whom we work, are. As we reconsider the ways in which reciprocity is not understood as a transaction in a relational methodology, new questions about the entanglement of reciprocity and recognition emerge. We understand that recognition does not necessarily have to be reciprocal, but recognition is necessary to compose a space where reciprocity can live in our ordinary interactions with others.

“…Research reciprocity is the concept that relationships within research should be reciprocali.e., that research participants should be compensated in some way for their participation [20][21][22]. Although our SAC members are not participants in the trial itself, they are advisors and collaborators on the trial and should also experience reciprocity.…”

Introduction: Engaging patients, caregivers, and other stakeholders to help guide the research process is a cornerstone of patient-centered research. Lived expertise may help ensure the relevance of research questions, promote practices that are satisfactory to research participants, improve transparency, and assist with disseminating findings. Methods: Traditionally engagement has been conducted face-to-face in the local communities in which research operates. Decentralized platform trials pose new challenges for the practice of engagement. We used a remote model for stakeholder engagement, relying on Zoom meetings and blog communications. Results: Here we describe the approach used for research partnership with patients, caregivers, and clinicians in the planning and oversight of the ACTIV-6 trial and the impact of this work. We also present suggestions for future remote engagement. Conclusions: The ACTIV-6 experience may inform proposed strategies for future engagement in decentralized trials.

“…As an acknowledged characteristic of the fieldwork relationship, reciprocity between researchers and participants involves more than giving and receiving physical objects (von Vacano, 2019). Trust and respect were elements of reciprocity that emerged in the study, both of which were important in building a research relationship.…”

Hearing young children’s perspectives: Reflections on research into left-behind children’s lived experience in Chinese rural areas

Children’s right to be heard is an issue raised in recent years in the Global North, which has also been acknowledged by Chinese researchers currently studying child development and education. However, Chinese researchers still often prefer the perspectives of adults in their research on young children, citing a lack of suitable methodologogy for collecting and interpreting young children’s voices. This article recognises the significance of including young children’s perspectives in research. It discusses how Western methodologies for listening to their perspectives, such as the Mosaic approach, can be adapted for use in Chinese socio-cultural contexts. By reflecting on the first author’s research on the lived experience of leftbehind young children in a Chinese rural area, the article explores the development and implementation of such a methodology. The research findings indicate that the Mosaic approach, alongside phenomenological interviews and other research tools, provided an effective approach that enabled achievement of the research aims. Flexibility and reciprocity in relationships were two key contributors to effectiveness of this approach to research in a Chinese context.
