description What distinguishes one engaged approach to planning from another? In the bid to produce innovative planning scholarship which impacts theory and practice, there is growing interest in broadening the range of approaches to engaged planning research. This article looks specifically at action research - which moves away from more traditional research models and aims at generating collective learning processes through the relationship between researcher and community. Enriching the debate around the quality of action research writings, the paper discusses the theoretical foundations of action research, looks at the misconceptions surrounding it, compares its written outcomes to other planning publications and suggests criteria for the assessment of such publications.
