Achieving social-ecological fit through bottom-up collaborative governance: an empirical investigation (2015, background): “…Research Organisation Ecology and Society 20(4): 41 http://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol20/iss4/art41/ the bottom-up collaborative approach (e.g., Olsson et al. 2007), and there are compelling theoretical arguments in the discourses of adaptive governance and polycentrism that favor the link…”
Connecting social networks with ecosystem services for watershed governance: a social-ecological network perspective highlights the critical role of bridging organizations. (2012, background): “By connecting diverse watershed actors, e.g., agricultural and tourism based municipalities, bridging organizations can facilitate the coordinated and consistent management of shared resources (Cash et al. 2006, Berkes 2007, Olsson et al. 2007).”
Navigating the Back Loop: Fostering Social Innovation and Transformation in Ecosystem Management (2010, background): “Bridging organizations link actors at different levels and thereby facilitate interorganizational collaboration between, for example, government agencies, nongovernmental agencies, businesses, and community groups (Brown 1991, Westley and Vredenburg 1991, Olsson et al. 2007).”
Network analysis in conservation biogeography: challenges and opportunities (2010, background): “…on bridging organizations and institutional entrepreneurs that addresses the resolution of scale mismatch situations (e.g. Hahn et al., 2006; Olsson et al., 2007) tends not to explicitly analyse the structure of social networks and the explicit scales of relevance in the ecological system…”

African community-based conservation: a systematic review of social and ecological outcomes (2018, background): “The importance of these organizations is also emphasized in Berkes (2007), Olsson et al. (2007), Cash and Moser (2000), among others.”
Evolution of co-management: role of knowledge generation, bridging organizations and social learning. (2009, background): “’’ The general finding is that linking different levels of organization and knowledge systems requires networks involving many coordinators and facilitators (Mahanty, 2002; Olsson et al., 2007).”
Sustainability transformations: a resilience perspective (2014, background): “The analysis of systemic shifts between different social, ecological, and socialecological regimes also points to the possible barriers to sustainability transformations (Gunderson et al. 1995, Olsson et al. 2007, 2010, Sendzimir et al. 2008).”
Adaptive Comanagement: a Systematic Review and Analysis (2012, background): “…recognized as having the potential to: address the problem of “fit” by enhancing the congruence between social institutions and biophysical systems (Olsson et al. 2007, Galaz et al. 2008); become an agent of governance that is good, right, and authentic as well as an arena in which to embrace…”
Polycentric Systems of Governance: A Theoretical Model for the Commons (2019, background): “A competition of ideas and methods employed by decision-making centers may also drive the self-organizing tendencies of polycentric governance systems, enabling them to better address emerging challenges and goals without central direction (see Olsson et al., 2007; Imperial, 1999).”

Examining Relationships Between Collaboration, Learning and Outcomes in UNESCO Biosphere Reserves (2017, background): “…promise to: build adaptive capacity (Armitage, 2007; Fabricius et al., 2007); address the ‘issue of fit’ between institutions and biophysical systems (Olsson et al., 2007; Galaz et al., 2008); and, nurture resilience for sustaining “…complex social–ecological systems” (Olsson et al., 2004:87; see…”
