[ID#] 66 [Author(s)] Donna Champion; Frank Stowell [Abstract] This paper builds on the notion of �recoverability� of a social inquiry process and the need to also reflect upon the character, or �authenticity�, of an inquiry. We argue that if researchers are to make their Action Research outcomes accessible to interested others, the elements of the F, M, A model and the PEArL mnemonic must be made public. By using these guides, Action Researchers will make the academic rigour underpinning their work and also the character of the inquiry process open to question and criticism by interested others. If due to unforeseen circumstances some practical outcomes are not welcome and so the validity of the change process is in question, the integrity of the research process can still be established. This is important in complex human situations, where we often learn more from our mistakes than from our success. [Title]
