despite several calls to support evidence-informed policy-making, variations in uptake of evidence into policy persist. this editorial brings together and builds on previous knowledge translation (kt) frameworks and theories to present a simple, yet, holistic approach for promoting evidence-informed policies. the proposed conceptual framework is characterized by its impact-oriented approach and...

We consider a simple language for writing causal action theories, and postulate several properties for the state transition models of these theories. We then consider some possible embeddings of these causal action theories in some other action formalisms, and their implementations in logic programs with answer set semantics. In particular, we propose to consider what we call permissible transl...

Recently, the field of machine translation has increasingly reflected the influence of linguistic theory. Some systems have been designed around principles or structures of specific theories (Dorr, 1989; Kaplan, Netter, Wedekind, & Zaenen, 1989; Sharp, 1986), whereas others, adhering less strongly to particular theories, nevertheless reflect great care in considering and adapting the work of li...

BACKGROUND Knowledge translation (KT) is a buzzword in modern medical science. However, there has been little theoretical reflection on translation as a process of meaning production in KT. In this paper, we argue that KT will benefit from the incorporation of a more theoretical notion of translation as an entangled material, textual and cultural process.
