The aim of this paper is to examine what we know about the experience and outcomes of networked initiatives aimed at facilitating practitioner research. We outline the roles and significance of practitioner research within social work; review emerging understanding of practitioner research network initiatives; and draw conclusions from a comparative analysis of three such initiatives in Auckland, New Zealand, Arhus County, Denmark, and across Scotland. We consider the nature and challenges of practitioner research and a number of responses to how such work should be formulated and conducted. Central to our argument is an empirically informed consideration*from our separate and shared experiences*of how well networks enhance the process and consequences, and art and craft, of such research projects.Artiklens formål er at undersøge, den akutelle viden om erfaringer og resultater med netvaerkinitiativer, der har til hensigt at fremme praksisbaseret forskning. Vi skitserer den praksisbaserede forsknings roller og dens betydning i det sociale arbejde, vi gennemgår udviklingen af netvaerk som basis for praksisbaseret forskning og drager konklusioner fra en sammenlignende analyse af tre eksempler fra Auckland i New
