Further, the community should have a veto to allow or disallow the dissemination of the results beyond their researched community, see step 7 in “Method of Research in a We-Paradigm, lessons on Living Research in Africa.” In: Nielsen, P. and Kimaro, H.C.

Giving the community power to veto the dissemination of study results at first sounds like the responsible thing to do, but giving it a second thought, I’m wondering if that would have an unintended consequence. Researchers and institutions might not be willing to pay for studies that can be canned after they are concluded, which might deter research that could potentially help the communities in which it takes place. Science illiteracy is such a problem, even (especially) in developed regions, that it’s not hard to imagine communities that reflexively veto dissemination of results. Have you come across a problem like that or do you know of a solution or a rebuttal?
