Scholars have long stressed the need to bridge the gap between science and action and seek the most efficient use of knowledge for decision-making. Many contributors have attempted to consider and understand the sociopolitical forces involved in knowledge generation and exchange. We argue, however, that a model is still needed to adequately conceptualize and frame the knowledge networks in which these processes are embedded. We devised a model for knowledge mapping as a prerequisite for knowledge management in the context of conservation. Using great ape conservation to frame our approach, we propose that knowledge mapping should be based on 2 key principles. First, each conservation network results from the conglomeration of subnetworks of expertise producing and using knowledge. Second, beyond the research-management gradient, other dimensions such as the scale of operation, geographic location, and organizational characteristics must also be considered. Assessing both knowledge production and trajectory across different dimensions of the network opens new space for investigating and reducing the gap between science and action. Article Impact Statement: Considering subnetworks of expertise for knowledge mapping provides opportunities to bridge the gap between science and action. This article is protected by copyright.

使用知识图谱重新思考科学与行动之间的差距

长期以来，学者们一直强调需要弥合科学与行动之间的差距，并寻求最有效地利用知识进行决策。许多贡献者试图考虑和理解知识生成和交流中涉及的社会政治力量。然而，我们认为，仍然需要一个模型来充分概念化和构建嵌入这些过程的知识网络。我们设计了一个知识图谱模型，作为保护背景下知识管理的先决条件。使用类人猿保护来构建我们的方法，我们建议知识图谱应基于 2 个关键原则。首先，每个保护网络都是由生产和使用知识的专业知识子网络聚合而成的。其次，超越研究-管理梯度，还必须考虑其他方面，例如经营规模、地理位置和组织特征。评估跨网络不同维度的知识生产和轨迹为调查和缩小科学与行动之间的差距开辟了新的空间。文章影响声明：考虑用于知识映射的专业知识子网络提供了弥合科学与行动之间差距的机会。本文受版权保护。版权所有。考虑用于知识映射的专业知识子网络提供了弥合科学与行动之间差距的机会。本文受版权保护。版权所有。考虑用于知识映射的专业知识子网络提供了弥合科学与行动之间差距的机会。本文受版权保护。版权所有。
