许多从事保护工作的研究人员渴望产生“可操作的科学”，以告知保护实践。为了了解产生可操作的科学需要什么，我们采访了71名研究人员，他们致力于在保护方面产生可操作的科学。我们询问了可操作科学的属性，以及根据他们的经验，帮助或阻碍其生产的各种因素。我们特别关注与个人行为相对应的因素以及与组织层面的政策和实践相关的因素。在我们的访谈中，出现了六种与可操作的科学生产相关的最佳实践：四种在个人层面，两种在组织层面。个人行为的最佳做法包括：（a）参与协作;（B）实践同理心;（c）建立信任关系;（d）采用多种沟通方法。各组织的最佳做法包括：（a）激励可付诸行动的科学;（B）向早期职业研究人员提供可付诸行动的科学资源。我们的分析提供了有用的指导方针，保护研究人员和从业人员有兴趣在生产可操作的科学。
Many researchers working in conservation aspire to produce "actionable science" to inform conservation practice. In order to understand what it takes to produce actionable science, we interviewed 71 researchers who have worked on producing actionable science in conservation. We asked about the attributes of actionable science and the various factors that, in their experience, aid or hinder its production. We focused specifically on factors that correspond to individual behaviors and those that relate to organizational level policies and practices. Six best practices associated with the production of actionable science emerged from our interviews: four at the individual level and two at the organizational level. Best practices for individual behaviors include: (a) engaging in collaboration; (b) practicing empathy; (c) building trusting relationships; and (d) employing diverse communication methods. Best practices for organizations include: (a) incentivizing actionable science and (b) providing resources for actionable science to early-career researchers. Our analyses provide useful guidelines for conservation researchers and practitioners who are interested in producing actionable science.
