- Abstract:
This note discusses rigour in research and in the peer review of academic journals by examining current research into construction conflict and disputes. Comments are made on a paper by Alkass, S., Mazerolle, M. and Harris, F.C. (1996) Construction Management and Economics, 14, 375-94. The paucity of research in this field is discussed and the current literature is reviewed. The note concludes that: more work is required in this area; the lack of data is no excuse for subjective theorizing; basic rules of research must be complied with for research to retain its integrity; and the value of peer reviewed journals is reduced by the publication of papers which ignore these points.
