"Policy-based evidence making" is a pejorative term which refers to the commissioning of research in order to support a policy which has already been decided upon. The name has been suggested as a corollary to evidence-based policy making. As the name suggests, policy-based evidence making means working back from a predefined policy to produce underpinning evidence. Working from a conclusion to provide only supporting evidence is an approach which contradicts most interpretations of the scientific method; however, it should be distinguished from research into the effects of a policy where such research may provide either supporting or opposing evidence. In July 2006 Rebecca Boden and Debbie Epstein〔(Managing the Research Imagination? Globalisation and Research in Higher Education. ''Globalisation, Societies and Education'' )〕 published a paper in which they wrote: The term "policy-based evidence making" was later referred to in a report of the United Kingdom House of Commons Select Committee on Science and Technology into Scientific Advice, Risk and Evidence Based Policy Making issued in October 2006. The committee stated: The term has also been applied outside the strictly scientific arena, for example in a position paper for the Arts and Humanities Research Council.〔(Position paper for AHRC by Oliver Bennett )〕 == See also == * Inverse benefit law * Evidence-based policy * Politicization of science * Woozle effect 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Policy-based evidence making」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
