Table 1 Type of embeddedness and example evidence that support coding decisions (see Appendix 9 for fuller descriptions)
Type of embeddedness | Evidence to support |
|---|---|
Physical co-location (confirmed) | For example, through details provided about share of time spent or resources provided to support physical co-location (e.g. a desk) |
Culturally/institutionally | For example, through being described as a team member in host team; to being embedded in team culture; to being set up to be staff member of host institution (e.g. through holding a joint contract or contract funded by host org — i.e., institutional barriers removed) |
Procedurally | For example, through references to attending staff meetings; references to embedded researcher conducting specific tasks or occupying specific roles (e.g. tutor role or support role); through regular emails, calls etc |
Physical co-location (probable) | For example, where physical co-location inferred as optional |
Confirmed as embedded, nature not described | Description vague — i.e. researcher described as embedding but processes unclear |
Embeddedness sought but not achieved | Where embeddedness was sought but was not achieved |
