TL;DR: The role of research-based knowledge in this complex setting is ambiguous and diverse, and it is undergoing rapid change both in theory and in practice as discussed by the authors, and the early response to concerns that these links could and should be improved, through efforts at translation and transfer.

TL;DR: This paper distills core lessons about how researchers interested in promoting sustainable development can increase the likelihood of producing usable knowledge from both practical experience and scholarly advances in understanding the relationships between science and society.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline a vision for the coordination and organization of knowledge systems that are better suited to the complex challenges of sustainability than the ones currently in place, including societal agenda setting, collective problem framing, a plurality of perspectives, integrative research processes, new norms for handling dissent and controversy, better treatment of uncertainty and of diversity of values, extended peer review, broader and more transparent metrics for evaluation, effective dialog processes, and stakeholder participation.

TL;DR: In this article, a review examines theoretical and empirical literature from sustainability science, public administration, and science and technology studies with the intention of advancing the theory and practice of co-production within sustainability science.

TL;DR: The concept of coproductive capacities as discussed by the authors was proposed to examine the relationship between science and society, and the societal foundations that shape what is or is not possible in that dynamic connection.
