The uptake of recommendations requires not only clarity on what is recommended but also on why it is recommended, how it can be realized, and who needs to take action

It is important that scientists reflect on their scientific aims and on how to achieve those aims. The report of the ACBS Task Force on the strategies and tactics of CBS research is an important document in that it provides explicit recommendations on what is needed to realize the aims of CBS. In this invited commentary on the report, we reflect on what additional steps are needed to realize the full potential of the report. More specifically, we encourage the CBS community to continue this effort and further specify the nature of the recommendations, to discuss in more detail why the recommendations should be implemented, to indicate how they can be implemented and to reflect on how different members of the CBS community can help to implement them. unknown
