There has been a call to shift from treating theories as static products to engaging in a process of theorizing that develops, modifies, and advances implementation theory through the accumulation of knowledge. Stimulating theoretical advances is necessary to improve our understanding of the causal processes that influence implementation and to enhance the value of existing theory. We argue that a primary reason that existing theory has lacked iteration and evolution is that the process for theorizing is obscure and daunting. We present recommendations for advancing the process of theorizing in implementation science to draw more people in the process of developing and advancing theory.
有人呼吁从将理论视为静态产物转变为参与理论构建过程，该过程通过知识积累来发展、修改和推进实施理论。激发理论进步对于提高我们对影响实施的因果过程的理解以及提升现有理论的价值是必要的。我们认为现有理论缺乏迭代和演进的一个主要原因是理论构建过程晦涩难懂且令人生畏。我们提出了推进实施科学中理论构建过程的建议，以吸引更多人参与到理论的发展和推进过程中。
