A novel governance framework for transformative science-policy-society interfaces: What can sociocracy offer?

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Recent literature on science-policy-society interfaces (SPSI) suggests that transformative change in environmental governance requires solution-focused, inclusive, and co-produced mechanisms in the creation of policy-relevant knowledge. Nonetheless, due to accepted epistemic norms and modes of organisation, most SPSIs fail to address prevailing power disparities and contribute to real economic and political restructuring for sustainability. This paper addresses a rarely considered but critical aspect of transformative knowledge co-production, namely the governance structures and processes that underpin SPSI interactions. Based on a design thinking process and expert interviews, we outline a novel model of SPSI governance that is based on the principles of sociocracy, centring equity, inclusivity, and consent-based decision-making. Finally, using the example of the Science Service for Biodiversity, a newly developed SPSI under the EU-funded BioAgora project: we sketch the strengths and limitations of this model, inviting readers to reimagine and further the discussion on SPSI governance.
