Is there anything else?
9:27
Yeah.

I mean, I think one of the key things from the contributions on realist searching that I did with colleagues in Leeds and Exeter, that we tried to break the search process down into a number of different stages with different purposes.
9:43
And so again, I think it's very important to not think of these as solutions for all the requirements of the realist, but to think of what tools do you need for each stage.
9:57
So yes, that initial exploration that we talked about, program theory, surfacing that, then these tools that I've already mentioned can be useful.
10:06
Later on, when it comes to theory testing, then you find that, well, two main characteristics.
10:13
One is that very often you're trying to dive into the contents of articles rather than through, if you like, the shop window of the titles and abstracts.
