This review paper addresses the challenging question of "how to" design and implement co-production of knowledge in climate science and other environmental and agricultural sciences. Based on a grounded theory review of nine (9) published case studies of transdisciplinary and collaborative research projects, the paper offers a set of common themes regarding specific components and processes for the design, implementation, and achievement of co-production of knowledge work, which represent the "Modus Operandi" of knowledge co-production. The analysis focuses on practical methodological guidance based on lessons from how different research teams have approached the challenges of complex collaborative research. We begin by identifying broad factors or actions that inhibit or facilitate the process, then highlight specific practices associated with co-production of knowledge and necessary competencies for undertaking co-production. We provide insights on issues such as the integration of social and professional cultures, gender and social equity, and power dynamics, and illustrate the different ways in which researchers have addressed these issues. By exploring the specific practices involved in knowledge co-production, this paper provides guidance to researchers on how to navigate different possibilities of the process of conducting transdisciplinary and co-production of knowledge research projects that best fit their research context, stakeholder needs, and research team capacities.
这篇综述论文探讨了一个具有挑战性的问题，即如何设计和实施气候科学及其他环境和农业科学领域的知识共同生产。本文通过对 9 个跨学科和合作研究项目的已发表案例研究进行扎根理论综述，提出了一套关于知识共同生产设计、实施和实现的共同主题，这些主题代表了知识共同生产的“运作模式”。该分析侧重于基于不同研究团队如何应对复杂合作研究挑战的经验教训提供实用的方法指导。我们首先确定了阻碍或促进该过程的广泛因素或行动，然后重点介绍了与知识共同生产相关的具体实践以及开展共同生产所需的必要能力。我们探讨了社会和职业文化融合、性别和社会公平以及权力动态等问题，并说明了研究人员解决这些问题的不同方式。通过探讨知识共同生产所涉及的具体实践，本文为研究人员提供了指导，帮助他们在最符合研究背景、利益相关者需求和研究团队能力的情况下，针对跨学科和知识共同生产研究项目的过程中的不同可能性进行导航。
