Overcoming Common Anxieties in Knowledge Translation: Advice for Scholarly Issue Advocates
面对气候变化等紧迫威胁,学术界呼吁更有效地将研究证据转化为公共政策。本文整合政治学、道德心理学和市场营销知识,为初涉知识转化者提供如何像营销者、游说者、运动家和政治学家一样思考与行动的建议,以弥合证据与政策之间的鸿沟。
Policy Points Faced with urgent threats to human health and well-being such as climate change, calls among the academic community are getting louder to contribute more effectively to the implementation of the evidence generated by our research into public policy. As interest in knowledge translation (KT) surges, so have a number of anxieties about the field's shortcomings. Our paper is motivated by a call in the literature to render useful advice for those beginning in KT on how to advance impact at a policy level. By integrating knowledge from fields such as political science, moral psychology, and marketing, we suggest that thinking and acting like marketers, lobbyists, movements, and political scientists would help us advance on the quest to bridge the chasm between evidence and policy.
