1. new questions, new perspectives, and new results enrich the academic discussion,

2. it leads to publications in learned journals, and

3. it is received by practitioners and consulted for problem solving

Research is not an end in itself. Only teaching at universities, scientific publications and communicating research results to the public bring the potential benefits of academic research completely to bear. We pay attention to the proper use of methods and the compliance with ethical standards in research.
