Disseminating scientific research: a double-edged sword?
2017
Practitioners rarely have the time or propensity to read scientific research, and scholarly researchers seldom write for non-academic audiences. Nevertheless, both groups would probably agree that researchers could solve many problems faced by practitioners and that research is important to guide practice. This article acknowledges scientists’ failure to communicate successfully with practitioners, and discusses the main differences between academic and practitioner-oriented journals in management and business related disciplines. Author guidelines of the most prominent journals that appeal to both academics and practitioners are reviewed and discussed. A thorough literature review is also …
Sharing and disseminating knowledge of advanced spatial modelling. Presentation of an action carried out by the European research group S4 (spatial s…
2006
International audience; The European research group S4 (Spatial simulation for social sciences) gathers researchers in geography as well as in geographical information sciences coming from about 30 European research centres. One action of the European research group S4 consists in sharing and disseminating knowledge of advanced spatial modelling. We propose here to describe several aspects of this action that are of interest considering the objectives of the CAENTI. The first aim of the action is to improve the diffusion of the results of the research in advanced spatial modelling, particularly in direction of regional and urban management and planning. The second aim is the development of …
Our aim is to transfer life-saving knowledge to large numbers of responders: Knowledge Dissemination in the E-health Era
2020
The origin of ‘public health’ discourse goes back to the 19th century when ideas of health and wellness began to take hold as an academic discipline at universities first in Europe (France and UK), and then in US. As scientific knowledge grew, public authorities were more concerned on general sanitation (Chave 1984) and gradually were formed to employ newly discovered interventions against health threats. The principles of public health in earlier times were guided more by the notions of the commons, wellbeing, and local knowledge. In recent times, our understanding and practice of public health is guided more by technological advances generally based on governmental decisions (Green et. al…
