Design with multi-stakeholder participation is a particular branch of participatory design, in which stakeholders do not directly participate in the co-design stage with design professionals but mainly contribute by making requirements and providing feedback to designers.
“In the field of design research, design with multi-stakeholder participation is a particular branch of participatory design, in which these stakeholders wouldn't directly participate in the co-design stage together with the design professionals [59].They mainly contribute to the design process by making requirements and providing feedback to the designers [51].”

“From an HCI perspective, such ethical priorities can be operationalised through frameworks like value sensitive design [18] and participatory design [98], which embed learner values into technological decision-making.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
