This framework outlines 12 essential elements for effective science-based policy. It details knowledge generation, exchange, and uptake to improve policy outcomes.

Area of Science:

Policy Science
Knowledge Management

Background:

Effective science-based policy requires a structured approach.
Existing frameworks lack comprehensive elements for policy integration.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a systematic framework of 12 essential elements for science-based policy.
To categorize these elements into knowledge generation, exchange, and uptake.

Main Methods:

Systematic framework development.
Identification and grouping of 12 core elements.
Categorization into three key areas: generation, exchange, and uptake.

Main Results:

The framework comprises 12 essentials: credible design, accurate data, sound analysis, comprehensive synthesis (knowledge generation); relevant content, appropriate translation, timely dissemination, modulated release (knowledge exchange); and accessible information, readable message, motivated user, rewarding outcome (knowledge uptake).

Conclusions:

The proposed framework provides a structured approach to enhance the effectiveness of science-based policymaking.
Implementing these 12 essentials can bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and policy application.
