Coproduction is not a new idea in implementation research, health research, or research in general. There is substantial scholarship that establishes its importance and provides guidance and examples for adoption. Given this, why do editorials like Rycroft-Malone and colleagues' recent paper, "Research Coproduction: An Underused Pathway to Impact," continue to be published, and also, necessary? In this commentary, we discuss the importance of equity-not equality-as the underlying paradigm of coproduction research. We argue that it is the incomplete understanding and adoption of this equity paradigm by researchers and their institutions that inhibit coproduction from being fully realized and thus, impactful. We offer examples of what such a paradigm shift might look like, including futures thinking that yields difficult questions that must be addressed to dismantle systemic barriers to power redistribution.
共同生产在实施研究、健康研究或一般研究中并不是一个新想法。有大量学术成果确立了其重要性，并提供了采用的指导和示例。鉴于此，为什么像里克罗夫特 - 马龙及其同事最近发表的论文《研究共同生产：一条未充分利用的影响途径》这样的社论仍在发表，而且是必要的呢？在这篇评论中，我们讨论公平而非平等作为共同生产研究潜在范式的重要性。我们认为，研究人员及其机构对这种公平范式的理解和采用不完整，这阻碍了共同生产的充分实现，从而无法产生影响。我们提供了这种范式转变可能是什么样的例子，包括前瞻性思考，这种思考会产生一些棘手的问题，必须加以解决以消除权力重新分配的系统性障碍。
