A few weeks have passed since the last update, apologies. Here are four interesting evaluation-related links to finish the week:

1. Big claims from Caroline Heider, Director General Evaluation at the World Bank Group, about a ‘Copernican’ moment for evaluation methods in international development as the famous ‘DAC’ criteria are reconsidered.
2. Many 100s of researchers (including some of LSHTM’s leading statisticians) — led by a group including Modern Epidemiology‘s Sander Greenland — have signed a declaration rejecting statistical significance, although not everyone is convinced that this is how science is supposed to work.
3. Part of recognising Feminist Issues in Evaluation, the American Evaluation Association published a series of blog posts, including ‘Data is Not Objective: Feminist Data Analysis by Heather Krause’.
4. A new (free) book describes the ‘Qualitative Impact Protocol’, which promises methods to attribute impact without comparison groups.
