Abstract

Distinguishing between research collaboration, consultancy, dissemination, and commercialization of research results, this paper analyses the determinants of researchers’ societal engagement. The analytical framework integrates societal engagement as part of the credibility cycle. Several variables extend previous findings on determinants and mechanisms—herein scientific recognition and funding sources. A novel method to investigate the relationship between scientific recognition and societal engagement is explored. Drawing on a large-scale survey of European-based researchers in physics, cardiology, and economics, we find that several factors are associated with different modes of societal engagement in complex and intersecting ways. Scientific recognition is positively associated with research collaboration and dissemination, while organizational seniority is associated with all modes except for research collaboration with non-scientific actors. Female gender is positively associated with dissemination and external funding sources are positively associated will all. The findings intersect with differences in the three research fields.

研究人员与社会接触：谁在做什么？

本文区分了研究合作、咨询、传播和研究成果商业化，分析了研究人员参与社会活动的决定因素。分析框架将社会参与整合为信誉周期的一部分。几个变量扩展了之前关于决定因素和机制的研究成果，其中包括科学认可度和资金来源。研究还探索了一种新方法来研究科学认可与社会参与之间的关系。通过对物理学、心脏病学和经济学领域的欧洲研究人员进行大规模调查，我们发现有几个因素以复杂和交叉的方式与不同的社会参与模式相关联。科学界的认可与研究合作和传播呈正相关，而组织的资历则与除与非科学界人士的研究合作之外的所有模式相关。女性性别与传播正相关，外部资金来源与所有模式正相关。研究结果与三个研究领域的差异存在交叉。
