The official publication of the Living Knowledge Network. Since August 2005 it is published once a year. The journal is focusing on all people interested in community based research, background information and the impact of community based research. The magazine will be distributed to the members and subscribers of the network as well to journalists, mediators and project partners. The purpose of LK is to disseminate timely and informative articles that represent the current state of the discussion on science shop / community based research matters. The articles are selected for appeal to readers engaged in research and applications across the broad spectrum of community based research. Although a moderate level of scientific understanding is assumed by the authors, articles should be clear enough to inform readers who work outside the particular subject area. Every LK article receives a professional editorial review.
