Implementation research is the scientific study of barriers to and methods of promoting the systematic application of research findings in practice, including in public policy.[1] Often, research projects focus on small scale pilot studies or laboratory-based experiments, and assume that findings can be generalised to roll out into a practice-based domain with few changes. Implementation research explores the challenges that are faced when generalising research findings "in the real world", such as in the fields of healthcare or school-based education. The journal Implementation Science publishes research in this field.[1]
