Good Questions Review explores emerging insights about how social science research can be more useful for making decisions. Articles will be guided by at least one of the following questions:

• What are the strengths and weaknesses of the approaches we currently identify, develop, and prioritise questions and set research agendas?
• What makes "good" questions in the social sciences for policy and program impact? How is this changing? How should it change?
• Who writes "good" questions? In what conditions and with what skills? Who needs to be involved for better questions addressing complex social issues?

This Good Questions Review post was written by Paul Kellner in his role as Research Fellow at the Monash Sustainable Development Institute through support from Open Philanthropy.
