<b>Do research findings need to be timely to influence policy making?</b> - Good Questions Review (Bridges version)

Do research findings need to be timely to influence policy making?<i>Yes! Timeliness is necessary but may not be sufficient.</i>This is a post from a living literature review project called Good Questions Review. It was originally posted on another site on 14 June 2024, but it has been migrated to Bridges to maintain persistent links to versions of record. The latest posts from the project can be found on <i>https://www.monash.edu/msdi/research/good-questions-review/</i> and their versions of record are deposited here on Monash University's Bridges system.See document for text.Good Questions Review explores emerging insights about how social science research can be more useful for making decisions. Articles will be guided by at least one of the following questions:What are the strengths and weaknesses of the approaches we currently identify, develop, and prioritise questions and set research agendas?What makes "good" questions in the social sciences for policy and program impact? How is this changing? How should it change?Who writes "good" questions? In what conditions and with what skills? Who needs to be involved for better questions addressing complex social issues?This Good Questions Review post was written by Paul Kellner in his role as Research Fellow at the Monash Sustainable Development Institute through support from Open Philanthropy.

研究发现是否需要具备时效性才能影响政策制定？<i>是的！时效性是必要条件，但未必充分。</i>本文为名为「好问题综述（Good Questions Review）」的动态文献综述项目所发布的帖子。该帖最初于2024年6月14日发布于其他平台，现已迁移至Bridges系统，以保留正式版本的持久链接。该项目的最新帖子可访问<i>https://www.monash.edu/msdi/research/good-questions-review/</i>，其所有正式版本均存档于莫纳什大学（Monash University）的Bridges系统中。文本详见附件文档。

好问题综述旨在探索社会科学研究如何更有效地辅助决策的前沿洞见。所收录文章将至少围绕以下问题之一展开：
1. 我们当前用于识别、开发、筛选问题并设定研究议程的方法，存在哪些优势与局限？
2. 社会科学领域中，何为服务于政策与项目影响的"优质问题"？这一评判标准正在发生何种变化？又应朝着何种方向演进？
3. 谁能提出"优质问题"？在何种条件下、依托哪些技能可以提出？若要针对复杂社会议题提出更优质的问题，需要吸纳哪些主体参与？

本次「好问题综述」帖子由保罗·凯尔纳（Paul Kellner）以莫纳什可持续发展研究所（Monash Sustainable Development Institute）研究员的身份撰写，并得到开放慈善项目（Open Philanthropy）的支持。
