“…Today, co-production is a hot topic in policymaking, governance, and research, as well as in a range of fields from museums to climate change [3,4]. In health, and alongside user and community participation, co-production is described as a way of working together to improve health and of creating user-led, people-centred health care services [5].…”

The co-production of what? Knowledge, values, and social relations in health care

“Co-production” is becoming an increasingly popular term in policymaking, governance, and research. While the shift from engagement and involvement to co-production in health care holds the promise of revolutionising health services and research, it is not always evident what counts as co-production: what is being produced, under what circumstances, and with what implications for participants. We discuss these questions and propose that co-production can be understood as an exploratory space and a generative process that leads to different, and sometimes unexpected, forms of knowledge, values, and social relations. By opening up this discussion, we hope to stimulate future debates on co-production as well as draw out ways of thinking differently about collaboration and participation in health care and research.Part of the title of this article is inspired by the book “The Social Construction of What?” by Ian Hacking (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press; 2000).

“…This combination of methods was intended to facilitate iteration between scientists and management partners throughout the modeling process (Miller and Morisette 2014), with the ultimate goal of producing more usable information (Dilling andLemos 2011, Lemos et al 2012); this approach is consistent with the most common theme in the co-production literature (Bremer and Meisch 2017). Our use of the term "co-production" also speaks to the climate science community's growing interest in and demand for knowledge co-production (National Research Council 2009, ACCCNRS 2015, Briley et al 2015, Meadow et al 2015.…”

“…This unidirectional, or loading dock (Cash et al 2006), approach to linking science and action is common and can produce credible information, but approaches that generate information which is also salient and legitimate to end-users are more likely to be effective (Cash et al 2003, Beier et al 2016. Consequently, knowledge co-production, which entails working across science and management communities to integrate multiple types of knowledge (Nel et al 2016), is increasingly recommended, particularly in the context of new and widespread challenges such as climate change (National Research Council 2009, ACCCNRS 2015, Briley et al 2015, Meadow et al 2015.…”

Co‐producing simulation models to inform resource management: a case study from southwest South Dakota

et al. 2017

Abstract. Simulation models can represent complexities of the real world and serve as virtual laboratoriesfor asking "what if. . .?" questions about how systems might respond to different scenarios. However, simulation models have limited relevance to real-world applications when designed without input from people who could use the simulated scenarios to inform their decisions. Here, we report on a state-and-transition simulation model of vegetation dynamics that was coupled to a scenario planning process and co-produced by researchers, resource managers, local subject-matter experts, and climate change adaptation specialists to explore potential effects of climate scenarios and management alternatives on key resources in southwest South Dakota. Input from management partners and local experts was critical for representing key vegetation types, bison and cattle grazing, exotic plants, fire, and the effects of climate change and management on rangeland productivity and composition given the paucity of published data on many of these topics. By simulating multiple land management jurisdictions, climate scenarios, and management alternatives, the model highlighted important tradeoffs between grazer density and vegetation composition, as well as between the short-and long-term costs of invasive species management. It also pointed to impactful uncertainties related to the effects of fire and grazing on vegetation. More broadly, a scenario-based approach to model co-production bracketed the uncertainty associated with climate change and ensured that the most important (and impactful) uncertainties related to resource management were addressed. This cooperative study demonstrates six opportunities for scientists to engage users throughout the modeling process to improve model utility and relevance: (1) identifying focal dynamics and variables, (2) developing conceptual model(s), (3) parameterizing the simulation, (4) identifying relevant climate scenarios and management alternatives, (5) evaluating and refining the simulation, and (6) interpreting the results. We also reflect on lessons learned and offer several recommendations for future co-production efforts, with the aim of advancing the pursuit of usable science.

Climate change poses significant global challenges. Solutions require new ways of working, thinking, and acting. Knowledge co-production is often cited as one of the innovations needed for navigating the complexity of climate change challenges, yet how to best approach co-production processes remains unclear. In this article, we explore the ways in which climate and development researchers are approaching the co-production of knowledge and grapple with the extent to which the modalities used are reaching their stated potential. Using a multiple case analysis of six examples of successful co-production, we outline a spectrum of co-production approaches and outcomes and examine the drivers and challenges to co-production in practice.Drawing on the case evidence and literature, we propose a heuristic that maps out this spectrum of aims and approaches to co-production and that could inform reflections on how those planning co-production processes envision them in practice.
