Hodges' Model: Welcome to the QUAD: Update on draft papers ;-)

Hodges' model is a conceptual framework to support reflection and critical thinking. Situated, the model can help integrate all disciplines (academic and professional). Amid news items, are posts that illustrate the scope and application of the model. A bibliography and A4 template are provided in the sidebar. Welcome to the QUAD ...

Update on draft papers ;-)

Please excuse the intended irony, as need for an - 'update' could refer to far more than papers.*

Across the life of W2tQ (since April 2006...) there are many posts about papers by other people, papers planned and less frequently work published

A paper that started in 2017 has finally been accepted and we (not the Royal variety - which is a critical joy) await the proof. 

I'm really grateful to my co-author who stayed the course on what has been an utter roller-coaster and with COVID too. I look forward to sharing details and hence news of their ongoing research elsewhere - in Europe.

Another paper conceived in March has progressed more rapidly. With the initial draft well received, I'm addressing some revisions from editors, which are straightforward. 

I still need to 'see' these two birds in my hands, to believe: it will be worth it (I think?) to add these to the bibliography, as:

  • SDGs are fundamental in global health and reveal the scope and relevance of h2cm;
  • nutrition is critical in public (mental) health, policy and sustainability;
  • there is more to follow from the 'mapping' that is exercised on W2tQ [2x2 HTML tables thus far], in these, and other papers;
  • the psychoses constitute a severe mental health condition that can also illustrate the impact on individuals, friends, family and society;
  • in health (and social) care we must address parity of esteem in and across theory, practice, management, policy, and research;
  • how do (research) methods figure in Hodges' model (a mapping approach);
  • what does a similar mapping of cardiovascular medicine and nursing reveal?

These bibliographical additions may help researchers in health, social care, and other fields find the model. While it is disappointing to find out about papers that reference h2cm 'after the writing' this still counts. It is a reference, not a collaboration! This is very welcome and a key purpose of the blog, and presence - @h2cm - on twitter. 

It would be validating, so 'me' [massaging ego] but it would also be contradictory. 

Hodges' model is simple, isn't it? 

In its basic form, blank and template - it presents virgin territory for the user(s) to overlay with their map according to context.

I'll post again about three remaining drafts papers, one dates back to 2012 (I was full-time then) and one that is in two parts. I've learnt a lot (again) with the two 'nearbies' and will post and list details when able. 

If I can help you, your project - I'd be pleased to do so.
