“…A comprehensive evaluative scheme needs to cover the different dimensions including all 793 features critical to the nature of sustainability transition experiments (Forrest and Wiek, 794 2014;McLaughlin and Jordan, 2010). We adopted the established logical model of 795 evaluation to ensure basic comprehensiveness (Figure 1).…”

Transitions towards sustainability are urgently needed to address the interconnected challenges of economic development, ecological integrity, and social justice, from local to global scales. Around the world, collaborative science-society initiatives are forming to conduct experiments in support of sustainability transitions. Such experiments, if carefully designed, provide significant learning opportunities for making progress on transition efforts. Yet, there is no broadly applicable evaluative scheme available to capture this critical information across a large number of cases, and to guide the design of transition experiments. To address this gap, the article develops such a scheme, in a tentative form, drawing on evaluative research and sustainability transitions scholarship, alongside insights from empirical cases. We critically discuss the scheme's key features of being generic, comprehensive, operational, and formative. Furthermore, we invite scholars and practitioners to apply, reflect and further develop the proposed tentative scheme -making evaluation and experiments objects of learning.

“…However, our theory of change focuses on two common elements found in most theories of change: activities and outcomes that we review in this typical order (McLaughlin and Jordan, 2010). We also suggest sample indicators that could help assess the extent to which intended outcomes have been reached.…”

“…These changes (often called "outcomes" or "impacts") can be shorter or longer in timeframe, and can occur within an individual person, a group of people, or the surrounding environment. While theories of change can be expressed in writing, they are often summarized graphically by a program logic model or other tabular depictions (Mayne, 2001;McLaughlin and Jordan, 2010).…”

The purpose of this article is to present a preliminary theory of change for community-based research projects. The theory of change emerged from a Canadian Summit titled, "Pursuing Excellence in Collaborative Community-Campus Research." The article begins by providing a rationale for why a theory of change could be helpful to advance the agenda of community-based research (i.e., concept clarification, guide to action, and quality assessment). Next we describe how our preliminary theory of change was developed, before outlining the theory of change under the headings of activities, intended outcomes, and sample indicators. We conclude by discussing what is needed in order to deepen our understanding of the theory of change for community-based research projects.

“…To this end, Table 2 presents a logic model illustrating the role of design principles in the transition from private to hybrid goods. Logic models serve to understand the relationships between resources, activities, outputs and program outcomes (McLaughlin & Jordan, 2004). This model shows that design principles are present at both input and activity levels of CDBs' institutional choices.…”

Inclusive financial sectors are essential in terms of poverty alleviation. While microcredit can be governed as a private good, self-managed civil society organizations propose an alternative way of managing financial services. Brazil's Community Development Banks (CDBs) are a growing and dynamic manifestations of these nonprofit organizations. Based on field research in Brazil, this article uses the Elinor Ostrom's design principles of successful self-governing common-pool resource institutions to analyze CDBs' microcredit system. Our results suggest that the characteristics of private goods could be reconsidered when they are governed by community self-managed enterprises. They become hybrid goods by mixing the characteristics of private and commons goods. Thus, specific institutional arrangements and the creation of public spaces make it possible to strengthen the community properties of nonprofit microcredit services and distances them from their characteristics of private goods. resource institutions to analyze CDBs' microcredit system.
