Explaining differential vulnerability to climate change: A social science review (2018, background): “…traditional knowledge holders, weather- and climate-related information is subject to assessment about its salience, or relevance to the decision at hand; credibility, in terms of believability and accuracy; and legitimacy, or production with the decision maker in mind (Cash et al., 2003).”
Reconciling the supply of scientific information with user demands: an analysis of the problem and review of the literature (2007, background): “…depends on multiple factors ranging from how the information is distributed to decision makers’ modes of understanding (NRC, 1999b) and how the problem is framed (Tversky and Kahneman, 1982), rigorous and systematic scholarship in this area has not been adequately pursued (Cash et al., 2003).”
Social identity, perception and motivation in adaptation to climate risk in the coffee sector of Chiapas, Mexico (2011, background): “Recent work, such as that by Cash et al. (2002, 2003), Meinke et al. (2006), and Vogel et al. (2007), supports the assertion that in order to successfully build adaptive capacity, E. Frank et al. / Global Environmental Change 21 (2011) 66–76 67 scientists, governments, NGOs, and other organizations…”
Linking science with environmental decision making: Experiences from an integrated modeling approach to supporting sustainable water resources management (2008, background): “…despite recent remarkable advances in environmental science with growing availability of relevant knowledge, data, and information, how science can best support environmental decision making remains an outstanding question (Cash et al., 2003; Lee, 1993; Reichert et al., 2007; van der Sluijs, 2007).”
Gaps in sustainability education: The impact of higher education coursework on perceptions of sustainability (2015, background): “While some have emphasized democratic participation and social justice (Norton, 2005), other scholars have identified the importance of “systems” and their role in decision-making as central to sustainability (Cash et al., 2003; Levin and Clark, 2010; Fisher, 2014).”
Matching knowledge brokering strategies to environmental policy problems and settings (2009, background): “In this context, Cash et al. (2006) argue for attending to convening, translating, collaborating and mediating as functions of how to co-produce knowledge.”
Predicting species distributions for conservation decisions (2013, background): “A variety of decision-making systems exist.”
The reflective futures practitioner: Balancing salience, credibility and legitimacy in generating foresight knowledge with stakeholders (2015, neutral): “Salience, credibility and legitimacy are also partly dependent on each other and trade-offs and synergies among them exist (Cash et al., 2003).”
Challenges to scenario-guided adaptive action on food security under climate change (2014, background): “The perceived credibility, legitimacy, salience and timeliness of science changes depend on the actor groups involved (Cash et al., 2003; Ostrom, 2010).”
