As a reminder, here is the distinction made between Good and Best Practices within the framework of the IMPACTPapeRec project:
Good Practice (GP) : a practice that brings further better results but might not be possible to be implemented everywhere, it brings a positive impact only under certain conditions and/or is crucial to success under specific circumstances.
Save
Best Practice (BP): an essential practice that should be implemented everywhere: it has a positive impact and is crucial to success.
