Research Standards

How AFDES Builds Research

Publications should be grounded in evidence, clear methods, editorial review, and public relevance.

01

Evidence

Research should rely on documents, data, fieldwork, credible sources, or transparent analysis.

02

Clarity

Publications should include summaries, key findings, and accessible explanations.

03

Citation

Reports should be easy for researchers, journalists, and students to cite.

04

Public Value

Every publication should help readers understand or act on a public-interest issue.
