Mind the Gap: Rigour and Relevance in Heritage Science Research

《铭记差距：遗产科学研究的严谨性和相关性》的中心目标是通过审查AHRC/EPSRC科学与遗产计划（SHP）研究集群（2008年）中出现的一个基本问题，优化以实践为重点的研究的影响。具体而言，该项目将考虑跨越学术研究和从业者社区之间的界限进行有效合作研究的障碍，有时被称为“严谨性和相关性差距”，并将考虑提供艺术和人文学科来告知这个问题。该项目将通过对EGOR集群的主要成果进行案例研究来开发，PAS：198文化收藏品环境条件规范，因为这一出版的工作试图弥合学术界和从业者之间的界限。- 了解合作研究的动态和边界，以便实现更有效和更丰富的遗产科学研究。- 参与并挑战艺术和人文学科，以应对合作研究中的沟通和文化障碍。 - 制定一个框架，规定有效合作研究和吸收研究证据所需的做法和协议，以维持未来的文化遗产。- 促进与学术研究人员，从业者和最终用户在文化遗产领域的参与。为了实现这些目标，介意差距将：-确定学术学科，从业者和专家社区之间的沟通障碍，如SHP研究集群所证明的。 - 改善研究实践，使跨学科的工作可以有效和创新，通过探索艺术和人文学科，如语言学，人类学，历史，教育的贡献。- 对英国遗产科学领域的参与者进行态度研究，以确定他们对合作研究和实践的经验和态度。- 出版一份白色文件，为遗产科学的合作研究制定框架。- 向决策者，包括研究委员会、从业人员、专业和学术机构传播该项目的研究结果，以确保产生广泛和持久的影响。预计该项目的研究结果将有助于更好地了解遗产科学研究的经济和社会影响是如何实现的，以及除了实现这一目标所需的文化外，还需要什么样的组织文化和实践来确保正确的基于研究的证据。利用艺术和人文学科的“透镜”，注意差距将梳理出定义“工作文化”的问题和文化遗产组织的独特特征，以及反映在语言差异，工作实践和解决问题时采用证据的遗产科学文化。其主要成果之一将是出版一份白色文件，其中将提出克服遗产科学研究中严格性-相关性差距的建议，以及学术界和实践界之间有效合作的框架。

The central aim of Mind the Gap: Rigour and Relevance in Heritage Science Research is to optimise the impact of practice-focused research by examining a fundamental question emerging from AHRC/EPSRC Science and Heritage Programme (SHP) Research Clusters (2008). Specifically, this project will consider the impediments to effective collaborative research across the boundaries between academic research and practitioner communities, sometimes referred to as the 'rigour and relevance gap', and will consider the offer of arts and humanities disciplines to inform the question. The project will be developed through the case study of the key outcome of the cluster EGOR, PAS: 198 Specification for Environmental Conditions for Cultural Collections, as this published work attempts to bridge the boundary between academics and practitioners.AimsThe purpose of this project is to: - Understand the dynamics and the boundaries of collaborative research so that a more effective and richer heritage science research can be achieved. - Engage and challenge arts and humanities disciplines in dealing with communication and cultural barriers in collaborative research. - Develop a framework that sets out the practices and protocols necessary for effective collaborative research and the uptake of research evidence that will sustain cultural heritage in the future. - Foster engagement with academic researchers, practitioners, and end users in the cultural heritage domain.To achieve these aims, Mind the Gap will: - Identify the barriers to communication between academic disciplines, practitioner and specialist communities as evidenced in SHP Research Clusters. - Improve research practice so that cross-disciplinary working can be effective and innovative, by exploring the contribution of arts and humanities disciplines such as linguistics, anthropology, history, education. - Undertake an attitude study of participants in the heritage science domain in the UK, to ascertain their experience of, and attitudes to, collaborative research and practices. - Publish a White Paper setting out a framework for collaborative research in heritage science. - Disseminate the findings of this project to policy makers including research councils, practitioners, professional and academic bodies, to ensure wide ranging and lasting impact. It is anticipated that the findings of this project will help to better understand how the economic and societal impacts of heritage science research are achieved and what organisational culture and practices' are in place to ensure the right research-based evidence, in addition to the culture necessary to achieve it. Using the 'lens' of arts and humanities disciplines, Mind the Gap will tease out the issues that define a 'working culture' and the distinct features of cultural heritage organisations, and heritage science cultures as reflected in language differences, working practices, and the take up of evidence in problem solving. One of the major outcomes of this will be the publication of a White Paper which will set out recommendations for overcoming the rigour-relevance gap in heritage science research and a framework for effective collaborations between academic and practitioner communities.
