Linking science with environmental decision making: Experiences from an integrated modeling approach to supporting sustainable water resources management (2008, background): “…policy serve different purposes (Lee, 1993), scientists and decision makers typically maintain different values, interests, concerns, and perspectives and, more importantly, tend to lack a mutual understanding of each other's knowledge systems (Jacobs, 2002; McNie, 2007; Sarewitz and Pielke, 2007).”
Beyond knowledge brokering: an exploratory study on innovation intermediaries in an evolving smallholder agricultural system in Kenya (2011, background): “The focus on most boundary work literature has looked mainly at the interaction between the science, policy and practice worlds (McNie, 2007; Kristjanson et al., 2009; Michaels, 2009).”
Moving Toward the Deliberate Co-Production of Climate Science Knowledge (2015, background): “knowledge (McNie 2007).”
Out of the Loop: Why Research Rarely Reaches Policy Makers and the Public and What Can be Done (2009, background): “There is now an emerging awareness that new tools for effective and timely communication of research findings are critically needed (McNie 2007).”
How wide is the “knowing-doing” gap in invasion biology? (2010, background): “In recent years, the gap between knowledge and action has been highlighted in a range of related conservation practice disciplines, such as conservation planning (Knight et al. 2008), resource management (Shackleton et al. 2009), ecosystem management ( McNie 2007 ), endangered species management (St”
THE MEANING OF AGRICULTURAL SUSTAINABILITY: EVIDENCE FROM A CONJOINT CHOICE SURVEY (2008, background): “, 2007) because the ultimate metric for useful information is whether it actually enables people to achieve the desired outcome (McNie, 2007).”
From Publications to Public Actions: When Conservation Biologists Bridge the Gap between Research and Implementation (2010, background): “Second, conservation researchers often study issues that are simply not relevant to conservation practice, or focus on “easy” conservation problems that result in recommendations that are viewed as trivial by practitioners (McNie 2007).”
Sustainable intensification of agricultural systems in the Central African Highlands: The need for institutional innovation (2016, background): “Stakeholders are those actors or actor groupswith a stake in a specific problemor in the innovations that can lead to their resolution (McNie, 2007).”
Creating usable science: Opportunities and constraints for climate knowledge use and their implications for science policy (2011, background): “In contrast, factors such as distrust, misunderstanding, and perceived irrelevance can be countered by developing processes that build relationships and social capital among the different parties involved (McNie, 2007; Patt and Gwata, 2002).”
Realising the full potential of citizen science monitoring programs (2013, background): “a clear objective or sampling design) can use up considerable resources and time yet achieve very little, resulting in inadequate datasets that fail to inform decisions (McNie, 2007; Sarewitz and Pielkejr, 2007), and might be used for the wrong purposes if they create the illusion that sufficient mo”
Technical knowledge, discursive spaces and politics at the science - policy interface (2013, background): “An in-depth understanding of the relationship between science and policy is crucial for scientists to be able to inform policy debates and policymaking.”
Enabling effective problem-oriented research for sustainable development (2012, background): “Such teaching formats are also important for disseminating research knowledge, for example, through the so-called science shops that couple teaching with scientific consultancy (Hellemans 2001, McNie 2007).”
RAAIS: Rapid Appraisal of Agricultural Innovation Systems (Part I). A diagnostic tool for integrated analysis of complex problems and innovation capacity (2015, background): “Stakeholders are those actors or actor groups with a vested interest in addressing the problem (McNie, 2007) and their participation in exploring solutions to complex agricultural problems is perceived as a critical success factor (e.g. Giller et al., 2011).”
Matching knowledge brokering strategies to environmental policy problems and settings (2009, background): “Yet little is known about what activities knowledge brokers undertake (McNie, 2007) and how these activities fit with efforts to understand and advance public policy decision making.”
Thresholds, tipping and turning points for sustainability under climate change (2013, background): “Information in this context can be thought of as more than just content: it is also the outcome of an effective process [37].”
The Right Stuff? Informing Adaptation to Climate Change in British Local Government (2015, background): “Scientists have tended to prioritize basic, curiosity-driven research over addressing the sometimes rather different concerns of policymakers (McNie, 2007; Meyer, 2011).”
