The research-to-practice gap is evident in many disciplines. This gap can be seen through practitioners failing to integrate the latest research findings into their work, and through the implementation of procedures that do not have empirical support. As the number of behavior-analytic practitioners grows, this gap is likely to become more salient. One solution to closing the gap is for practitioners to conduct applied research. This survey study aimed to identify specific barriers that practitioners face when conducting research, to identify how valuable conducting research is to practitioners, and to make recommendations to support research productivity in practice. We report results from survey questions about applied research and provide practical recommendations for practitioners to overcome barriers and to begin conducting research during their clinical work.

克服应用研究的障碍：从业者指南

从研究到实践的差距在许多学科中都很明显。这种差距可以通过从业者未能将最新研究成果整合到他们的工作中，以及通过实施没有经验支持的程序来体现。随着行为分析从业者数量的增加，这种差距可能会变得更加突出。缩小差距的一种解决方案是让从业者进行应用研究。这项调查研究旨在确定从业者在进行研究时面临的具体障碍，确定进行研究对从业者的价值，并提出建议以支持实践中的研究生产力。
