- Transdisciplinary Research May Be Hindering Rather Than Fostering Progress and Policy‐Making: Discussion With Examples in Soil Research Philippe C. Baveye Soil Use and Management ABSTRACT Over the last three decades, close collaboration between academic researchers and stakeholders has often been described as highly desirable for research to be relevant to the real world, for rapid implementation of research results in practice, and to facilitate policy making. Funding agencies in many countries now often make it mandatory for applied research proposals to involve stakeholders explicitly, in some way. This perspective rests implicitly on the premise that it is straightforward to decide in any particular situation who the stakeholders should be. In the present commentary, it is argued that this is often not clear‐cut. In a number of historical cases requiring drastic attitude changes, those who might have appeared at first to be natural stakeholders turned out not to be so in practice. In other situations, the selection of stakeholders who, in retrospect, may not have been the most suitable oriented the research in directions that turned out not to be optimal in the long run, contributing to slowing progress down rather than fostering it. These observations suggest that funding agencies should encourage academic researchers to seek such collaboration whenever it makes sense, but more importantly, should systematically ensure that research results are communicated effectively to a wide audience. 10.1111/sum.70139 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
