I don’t agree to the statement that research competency is difficult to educate to some stakeholders. Researchers are supposed to make sure that all that they have to bring in the community is understood by all stakeholders. They are expected to simplify all the science that there is to help the stakeholders despite their educational background, they should be made to understand the viability of the research brought to them.
Terminologies that are not clear should not be used to avoid confusion and later build a transparent relationship within both parties.
Again if researchers plan to educate the stakeholders, socially and culturally acceptable language should be used that the stakeholders own and identify with what they are being taught to understand.
In a nutshell, it is the responsibility of the researchers to educate his / her stakeholders so that they understand what he or she plans to bring to the identified community.
