本文概述了有效实践知识交流的五项原则，这些原则一旦得到应用，就有可能显着增强环境管理研究、政策和实践的影响。该论文基于对 13 个环境管理研究项目的 32 位研究人员和利益相关者的访谈进行实证分析，每个项目的设计都包含知识共创和共享的要素。这些项目重点关注英国各地的一系列高地和流域管理问题，包括研究委员会、政府和非政府组织资助的项目。与知识交流专业人士和学术专家讨论了初步结果，以确保新兴原则尽可能广泛地适用于多个学科。这些原则表明：知识交流需要被设计到研究中；可能的研究用户和其他利益相关者的需求应尽可能在研究中系统地体现；长期关系必须建立在研究人员和利益相关者之间的信任和双向对话的基础上，以确保新知识的有效共同生成。我们发现，在研究过程的早期提供切实的好处有助于确保可能的研究用户的持续动力和参与。知识交流是一个灵活的过程，必须进行监测、反思和不断完善，并且在可能的情况下，应采取措施确保持续知识交流的遗产超出最初的研究经费。这些原则已被用来为两个国际研究项目的知识交流和利益相关者参与指南的设计提供信息。他们能够帮助研究人员、决策者和其他在对比环境管理环境中工作的利益相关者共同努力，共同产生新知识，并更有效地共享和应用现有知识来管理环境变化。 (C) 2014 年作者。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版
This paper outlines five principles for effective practice of knowledge exchange, which when applied, have the potential to significantly enhance the impact of environmental management research, policy and practice. The paper is based on an empirical analysis of interviews with 32 researchers and stakeholders across 13 environmental management research projects, each of which included elements of knowledge co-creation and sharing in their design. The projects focused on a range of upland and catchment management issues across the UK, and included Research Council, Government and NGO funded projects. Preliminary findings were discussed with knowledge exchange professionals and academic experts to ensure the emerging principles were as broadly applicable as possible across multiple disciplines. The principles suggest that: knowledge exchange needs to be designed into research; the needs of likely research users and other stakeholders should be systematically represented in the research where possible; and long-term relationships must be built on trust and two-way dialogue between researchers and stakeholders in order to ensure effective co-generation of new knowledge. We found that the delivery of tangible benefits early on in the research process helps to ensure continued motivation and engagement of likely research users. Knowledge exchange is a flexible process that must be monitored, reflected on and continuously refined, and where possible, steps should be taken to ensure a legacy of ongoing knowledge exchange beyond initial research funding. The principles have been used to inform the design of knowledge exchange and stakeholder engagement guidelines for two international research programmes. They are able to assist researchers, decision-makers and other stakeholders working in contrasting environmental management settings to work together to co-produce new knowledge, and more effectively share and apply existing knowledge to manage environmental change.
