As described in the Australian New Crops Newsletter 4: 5, the "Do Your Own Research" concept has been successful in the nursery industry in generating solutions to a range of problems in many different nursery crops. The concept is now referred to as "Do Our Own Research". The DOOR manual has been released as a self-help guide to provide practical information and suggestions as to how to conduct research activities with other professionals in a commercial nursery environment. Although written for the nursery industry, the problems faced by the nursery industry are similar to those faced by any new crop industry and this manual could be of use in the facilitation of problem solving in other innovative industries.
