在这个时候，越来越多的社会科学家开始关注如何让他们的研究对公共政策制定者有用，而政策制定者对政府资助的社会科学研究的有用性也表现出了广为人知的担忧。双方都感兴趣的是，旨在影响政策的社会科学研究是否真的被“利用”了，但在这一重要问题能够有利可图地解决之前，理解“利用研究”的实际含义是至关重要的。对文献的回顾表明，这个术语有不同的含义。在“研究利用”的讨论中，许多模棱两可的说法--以及对其普遍性和发生途径的相互矛盾的解释--都源于概念上的混淆。如果我们要更好地了解社会科学研究过去对公共政策的影响程度，并学习如何在未来使其贡献更有效，我们需要澄清这一概念。经审查，在公共政策领域使用社会科学研究是一个极其复杂的现象。谈到这一主题的作者们唤起了人们对利用过程和目的的不同印象。在这里，我将尝试提炼出与这一概念相关的七种不同含义。(节选)
This is a time when more and more social scientists are becoming concerned about making their research useful for public policy makers and policy makers are displaying spurts of well publicized concern about the usefulness of the social science research that government funds support. There is mutual interest in whether social science research intended to influence policy is actually "used" but before that important issue can profitably be addressed it is essential to understand what "using research" actually means. A review of the literature reveals that a diverse array of meanings is attached to the term. Much of the ambiguity in the discussion of "research utilization"-and conflicting interpretations of its prevalence and the routes by which it occurs-derives from conceptual confusion. If we are to gain a better understanding of the extent to which social science research has affected public policy in the past and learn how to make its contribution more effective in the future we need to clarify the concept. Upon examination the use of social science research in the sphere of public policy is an extraordinarily complex phenomenon. Authors who have addressed the subject have evoked diverse images of the processes and purposes of utilization. Here I will try to extract seven different meanings that have been associated with the concept. (excerpt)
