研究系统模型越来越强调异质参与者网络之间的合作，以产生知识并针对社会挑战和市场需求制定跨学科的应对措施。在此背景下，研究人员的目标和实践需要满足新科学发现的专业要求和相关知识的社会需求。研究人员可能还需要找到方法来调和这两项任务之间的紧张关系。本文提出了一个分析和操作框架，其中结合了个人、组织和过程背景因素，以解释研究的科学和社会影响的不同配置。该框架强调与不同非学术行为者进行富有成效的互动的作用，作为协调研究的科学和社会使命的机制。
Models of research systems increasingly emphasize collaborations between networks of heterogeneous actors, to both produce knowledge and formulate interdisciplinary responses to societal challenges and market needs. In this context, researchers' goals and practices are required to satisfy professional requirements for new scientific findings and societal demand for relevant knowledge. Researchers may need also to find ways to reconcile tensions between these two missions. This article proposes an analytical and operational framework that incorporates individual, organizational and process-context factors to explain distinct configurations of scientific and societal impacts from research. The framework emphasises the role of productive interactions with different nonacademic actors as a mechanism for reconciling the scientific and societal missions of research.
