AB  - PURPOSE: The purpose of this paper is to provide evidence based guidance to 
      researchers and practice personnel about forming and carrying out effective 
      research partnerships. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: A review of the literature, 
      interviews and discussions with colleagues in both research and practice roles, 
      and a review of the authors' personal experiences as researchers in partnership 
      research. FINDINGS: Partnership research is, in some respects, a distinct 
      "approach" to research, but there are many different versions. An analysis of 
      research publications and of their research experience led the authors to develop 
      a framework for planning and assessing the partnership research process, which 
      includes defining expected outcomes for the partners, their roles, and steps in 
      the research process. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: This review and analysis provides 
      guidance that may reduce commonly-reported misunderstandings and help to plan 
      more successful partnerships and projects. It also identifies future research 
      which is needed to define more precisely the questions and purposes for which 
      partnership research is most appropriate, and methods and designs for specific 
      types of partnership research. ORIGINALITY/VALUE: As more research moves towards 
      increased participation of practitioners and patients in the research process, 
      more precise and differentiated understanding of the different partnership 
      approaches is required, and when each is most suitable. This article describes 
      research approaches that have the potential to reduce "the research-practice 
      gap". It gives evidence- and experience-based guidance for choosing and 
      establishing a partnership research process, so as to improve partnership 
      relationship-building and more actionable research.
