On Social Productivity and Future Perspectives on Action Research (Werner Fricke, Davydd J. Greenwood, Miren Larrea, Danilo Streck)
The paper addresses some of the consequences of neoliberalism in our societies and argues that the phenomena that is being discussed under the label of surveillance capitalism has deep implications regarding action research. It fractures individuals into apolitical wants and needs, neutralising the core of action research which is the integrity of the individual and the social fabric. But this can be a two-way relationship, and action research can contribute to counteracting these trends by recreating the citizen actor and integrating individuals in society. To discuss how this can be done in practice, the paper shares some positive deviants, which are positive examples that emerge under unfavorable conditions. Through their discussion the paper poses future-oriented perspectives on action research. Keywords: action research, neoliberalism, surveillance capitalism, individual and social resistance

How is Action Research Being Used in Computer Science? A Review (Liliam Maria Orquiza, Laura Sánchez García, Bruno Gabriel Costelini)
A literature review showcasing what specialists who work and publish scientific papers, involving action research in the field of computer science, think and do. It includes the 97 most cited (ten times or more) Computer Science papers that deal with action research, published between 2010 and 2019, and retrieved from Scopus and Web of Science databases. Specialists in information systems are using action research in various research capabilities, not only in the construction of artifacts, but mainly to improve their communication capacities with users and vice versa. Keywords: Action research; computer; literature review; research methods

Articulating inherent values of action research for newcomers coming from the field of territorial development (Malida Mooken)
This paper discusses the inherent values of action research for newcomers coming from the field of territorial development. The discussion is framed around three dimensions: 1) inquiring about problematic situations in real-time; 2) contextual-temporal qualities of the process; and 3) reflecting-acting on what we have reasons to value being and doing as researchers, participants, facilitative actors, and citizens. The conceptualisation builds on theoretical influences, most notably the writings of John Dewey and action research for territorial development, and my own practice. Two cases are discussed. One is about a Knowledge Transfer Partnership in Scotland, and the other is with regards to on-going work in the wine-producing territory of British Columbia, Canada. Keywords: action research, territorial development, inherent values, Dewey
