The Global Working Group on Health Promotion Research (GWG HPR) of the International Union for Health Promotion and Education (IUHPE) presents a collection of four articles illustrating innovative avenues for health promotion research. This commentary synthesizes the contributions of these articles while attempting to define the contours of research in health promotion. We propose that innovation in research involves the adoption of a reflexive approach wherein consideration of context plays different roles. The reflexive process consists of questioning what is taken for granted in the conceptualization and operationalization of research. It involves linking research findings and its theoretical foundations to characteristics and goals of the field and observed realities, while orienting reflection on specific objects. The reflexive nature of the research activity is of paramount importance for innovation in health promotion. With the publication of this series, the GWG HPR wishes to strengthen health promotion research capacity at the global level and reaffirm health promotion as a specific research domain.
国际健康促进与教育联盟（IUHPE）健康促进研究全球工作组（GWG HPR）发表了四篇文章，展示了健康促进研究的创新途径。本评论综合了这些文章的贡献，同时试图确定健康促进研究的范围。我们提出，研究中的创新涉及采用反思方法，其中考虑到背景在概念化和操作化研究中扮演不同的角色。反思过程包括质疑在研究的概念化和操作化中被视为理所当然的东西。它涉及将研究结果及其理论基础与该领域的特点和目标以及观察到的现实联系起来，同时将反思导向具体对象。研究活动的反思性质对健康促进的创新至关重要。随着这一系列文章的发表，GWG HPR 希望在全球层面加强健康促进研究能力，并再次确认健康促进是一个特定的研究领域。
