| I have difficulty finding people that want to work with me on my research (A12). A major problem when carrying out research is getting people to devote time to provide input for your research. Often, the people who you need information from are also the people with the least time. To put it simply, the basic question that they ask themselves is: what do I get in return for my collaboration? This question for a ‘fair deal’ is rarely stated explicitly, but it will severely affect the feasibility of your search. Skill Sheet A12 lists important rules for effective ‘barter in research’. Your trade positions involves knowledge, which is contained in research reports, interview elaboration, references to existing literature or it can even involve exchange of hearsay. You have to find a way to trade your knowledge for the information that you need from other people.
