wow. that's quite a list, larry. <br><br>i've added them all to what was already there, from lisa the fabulous and some others. fun to see elaine dixon's name in your list of dissertations. she was at a chicago training some years ago.<p>
not so long ago, we had identified only two or three papers. now that this list is growing, i'll do something to make it more prominent. find a way to put a link to it from the homepage.</p><p>here's the best page for research now... <br>
</p><p><a href="http://www.openspaceworld.org/cgi/wiki.cgi?ResearchActivities">http://www.openspaceworld.org/cgi/wiki.cgi?ResearchActivities</a></p><p>this is where the new homepage link will point. <br></p><p>the only thing missing from this page now is a proper reference for your healthcare article. can you send that to me? you could post it yourself, but it would take me longer to explain that than if i just paste it in what you send.</p>
<p>there is also a page about the protocols you and peggy and chris developed in 2005. you'll see a link to that at the top of the main research page. you and peggy, i think, created that protocols page -- it's in the open, public, wiki workspace at <a href="http://www.openspaceworld.NET">http://www.openspaceworld.NET</a> ...in case you want to use or update anything there. might the function of that page been taken up well my the worldscape website now? <br>
</p><p>research is one of those things that we've been holding a space for, but didn't have anythng to fill in there, until rather recently. so it might take a little while to figure out the best way to manage and display and link to that information, but at least now it's bigger on the radar.</p>

say that there is nothing published that is “peer reviewed” is not
quite right. Certainly there is not much given the over 200,000 uses of OST.
Academic publishing has not been a priority. Michael, isn’t this list or
one like it available at <a href="http://openspaceworld.org" target="_blank">openspaceworld.org</a>? If not, I could put out such a
request for folks to add peer reviewed articles in a discussion on the “ning”
site. What do you all think?</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The truly interesting thing is that the academic literature
(along with academia) has virtually ignored Open Space. To the best of my
knowledge there has never been a peer reviewed article published anywhere.
There have been several dissertations, but that is all. Question: How could the
academic world ignore a 25 year old, 100,000 iteration, 136 country phenomenon?
Go figure! Personally I don't care, and if anything I would consider it their
loss. But this fact does not make providing the sort of independent sources
Wikipedia wants a possible thing. In fact there have been major stories in The
New York Times, The Washington Post, The Times of London, etc,etc. --
which perhaps could be used if somebody cared to do so. A search of the
archives of the Times and the Post will produce those articles.</p>

scholars and are routinely cited in footnotes. They have been vetted by the
scholarly community; most are available via interlibrary
