An Empirical Investigation of Knowledge-Sharing in Networks (2005, background): “This restriction may reduce their ability to do whatever it takes to interact intensively with the other actors, such as traveling or attending meetings, a prerequisite for effective knowledge-sharing among research organizations and other parties in a network (Lavis et al. 2003).”
Evidence-based public health: a fundamental concept for public health practice. (2009, background): “In other cases, those without a background in scientific methods may be skeptical that a systematic review process yields a better idea of what to do about a problem and may simply follow advice of a trusted individual, even when the trusted advice contradicts the best available evidence (98).”
Travelling and embedded policy: the case of knowledge transfer (2006, background): “Our arguments for the progressive potential of KT connect to more recent research and associated literature on KT that stresses the need for long-term, negotiated and iterative approaches to transfer and policy learning (Lavis et al., 2003).”
A practical, robust implementation and sustainability model (PRISM) for integrating research findings into practice. (2008, background): “between research and health care operations, as others conducting implementation research have noted.(52) The REFIT, SIP, Health Information Technology, and Lab”
Leverage Points for the Implementation of Evidence-Based Practice (2004, background): “For EBP, key decision makers need to cultivate a ‘‘research-attuned culture’’ where reliance on evidence is valued and reinforced (Huberman, 1994; Lavis et al., 2003; Roos & Shapiro, 1999).”
Knowledge transfer and exchange: review and synthesis of the literature. (2007, background): “For example, it may be more beneficial to conduct an evaluation based on whether and how policy was informed, rather than simply the extent to which research was used (Eager et al. 2003; Lavis et al. 2003a).”
Knowledge translation of research findings (2012, background): “Facilitating pull activities focus on the needs of users, and cre ating an appetite for research results [11].”
Reconsidering evidence-based policy: Key issues and challenges (2010, background): “Hence, the knowledge/ communication channels need specific care and attention both to understand their characteristics and to improve their outcomes (Lavis et al., 2003; Lewig, Arney, & Scott, 2006; Nutley et al., 2007; Ouimet, Landry, Ziam, & Bedard, 2009).”
