Stakeholder perspectives in research refer to the viewpoints and interests of individuals or groups who are affected by or have an interest in a particular research project or its outcomes. This can include researchers, participants, funders, policymakers, community members, and other relevant stakeholders. Understanding and incorporating these perspectives is important in ensuring that research is relevant, ethical, and impactful. Stakeholder perspectives can influence the design, implementation, and dissemination of research, as well as the eventual uptake and utilization of research findings. By actively engaging with stakeholders throughout the research process, researchers can enhance the quality, relevance, and societal impact of their work.
