Evidence-based policy, as demonstrated by constructivists, has value laden underpinnings, however, such an acknowledgement is unhelpful as it results in relativism and "analysis-paralysis".

Visual methods of research are where a researcher collates data which in the main is generated by the participant; this data then goes on to be the basis of the researcher's analysis or, can be used as a base for further research.
