Hi Luis, thanks for disambiguating between these two defintions! I found this post easy to read, clear and convincing.
When I was first started working on local priorities research, I definitely intended it to be what you call “Contextualisation Research”, and projects that I ran focused on LPR were all CR related. I think (if Yi-Yang agrees with your proposal) it might be helpful to get the original LPR post re-named or add a disclaimer to the top to prevent people who are finding this later assuming that the original post only calls for “LPR” as you define it.
The possibility of confusion is the worst thing about me using the term “local priorities research” to refer so something that was used in a broader sense before. My hunch is that it’s worth it, because it seems to me to be by far the most accurate description of what I call LPR. I really hope this won’t prove to be too confusing, and I wouldn’t want to trouble those who have written before to make changes in response to this. But I think that in a number of cases the term was used to refer to both LPR and CR, in an ambiguous way.
My guess is that the best thing to do (if people agree with the distinction I’ve made) is to use LPR in the narrower sense from now on, and maybe making an edit or adding a comment explaining the usage of the term in past posts when authors see fit.
Hey Luis, to be clear, I agree with your post (and using a new name—I like context-specific GPR).
My main proposal which may have been unclear is that you proactively reach out to folks who uses the old definition in their work, in case they don’t see this post, and suggest they edit their posts.

Thanks, Vaidehi!
