“…The need for policy makers to understand science and for scientists to understand policy processes is widely recognised. However, the science-policy relationship is sometimes difficult and occasionally dysfunctional; it is also increasingly visible, because it must deal with contentious issues, or itself becomes a matter of public controversy, or both. …”

Science-policy guidelines as a benchmark: making the European Water Framework Directive by Lagace, E, Holmes, J, McDonnell, R

“…Some of these governments have produced generic, almost step-by-step recipes, for the use of evidence in policymaking in the form of 'science-policy guidelines'. The usefulness of these somewhat linear procedures has not been assessed in the actual process of policymaking. …”

Developing a collaborative agenda for humanities and social scientific research on laboratory animal science and welfare by Davies, G, Greenhough, B, Hobson-West, P, Kirk, R, Applebee, K, Bellingan, L, Berdoy, M, Buller, H, Cassaday, H, Davies, K, Diefenbacher, D, Druglitrø, T, Escobar, M, Friese, C, Herrmann, K, Hinterberger, A, Jarrett, W, Jayne, K, Johnson, A, Johnson, E, Konold, T, Leach, M, Leonelli, S, Lewis, D, Lilley, E, Longridge, E, McLeod, C, Miele, M, Nelson, N, Ormandy, E, Pallett, H, Poort, L, Pound, P, Ramsden, E, Roe, E, Scalway, H, Schrader, A, Scotton, C, Scudamore, C, Smith, J, Whitfield, L, Wolfensohn, S

“…This drew on methods employed by other agenda-setting exercises in science policy, using a collaborative and deliberative approach for the identification of research priorities. …”

Balancing authority and meaning in global environmental assessment: An analysis of organisational logics and modes in IPBES by Montana, J

“…Through the case of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), the paper examines the organisation of expertise using an analytical framework of six organisational modes: the modes of foundation, incorporation, representation, convention, exhibition and transformation. …”

Five lessons from COVID-19 for advancing climate change mitigation by Klenert, D, Funke, F, Mattauch, L, O'Callaghan, B

“…Fifth, transparency of normative positions is needed to navigate value judgments at the science-policy interface. Learning from policy challenges during the COVID-19 crisis could enhance efforts to reduce GHG emissions and prepare humanity for future crises.…”

What will Donald Trump's presidency mean for health? A scorecard by McKee, M, Greer, S, Stuckler, D

“…His proposal to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act with a "better reform", his stance on reproductive rights, and his approaches to other areas, such as science policy and climate change, coupled with his stated intention to put "America first" are creating anxiety and uncertainty about America's domestic health policies and its global leadership role in areas such as security and development. …”

BERA at 30. Have we come of age? by Furlong, J

“…This increasingly silences other approaches and opens up unhelpful divisions; a particular problem is the re-emergence of epistemological divisions - the paradigm wars. A 'big science' policy for research is also inappropriate in a world where practitioners increasingly want and need to engage in research themselves as a key strategy in 'knowledge transfer'. …”

A data citation roadmap for scholarly data repositories by Fenner, M, Crosas, M, Grethe, J, Kennedy, D, Hermjakob, H, Rocca-Serra, P, Durand, G, Berjon, R, Karcher, S, Martone, M, Clark, T

The roadmap was developed by the Repositories Expert Group, as part of the Data Citation Implementation Pilot (DCIP) project, an initiative of FORCE11.org and the NIH-funded BioCADDIE (https://biocaddie.org) project. …”

Putting theory into peaceful practice: insights and reflections on the process of coproducing a school-based intergroup relations intervention with teachers by McKeown, S, Sagherian-Dickey, T, Kwong, J, Charlesford, JJ

“…With the increasing ethnic diversity in school classrooms globally, understanding how best to harness intergroup contact and promote social cohesion is a timely challenge for science, policy, and practice alike. There is an urgent need, therefore, for applied social psychological research that bridges theory and practice in the pursuit of peace. …”

From inclusion to epistemic belonging in international environmental expertise: learning from the institutionalisation of scenarios and models in IPBES by Montana, J

“…In this account, I trace the institutionalization of biodiversity scenarios and models in the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) to show how achieving epistemic belonging requires expert communities to actively reshape the resource environments in which they operate. …”

Should we all be scientists? Re-thinking laboratory research as a calling by Bezuidenhout, L, Warne, N

“…Discussing this personal joy in—and “fittingness” of—scientific occupations using the fields of STS, ethics and science policy is highly problematic. In this paper we turn to theology discourse to analyze the notion of “callings” as a means of understanding this issue. …”

Replicating patterns of prospect theory for decision under risk by Ruggeri, K, Alí, S, Berge, ML, Bertoldo, G, Bjørndal, LD, Cortijos-Bernabeu, A, Davison, C, Demić, E, Esteban-Serna, C, Friedemann, M, Gibson, SP, Jarke, H, Karakasheva, R, Khorrami, PR, Kveder, J, Andersen, TL, Lofthus, IS, McGill, L, Nieto, AE, Pérez, J, Quail, SK, Rutherford, C, Tavera, FL, Tomat, N, Van Reyn, C, Većkalov, B, Wang, K, Yosifova, A, Papa, F, Rubaltelli, E, Linden, SVD, Folke, T

“…Kahneman and Tversky’s 1979 study tested financial choices under risk, concluding that such judgements deviate significantly from the assumptions of expected utility theory, which had remarkable impacts on science, policy and industry. Though substantial evidence supports prospect theory, many presumed canonical theories have drawn scrutiny for recent replication failures. …”
