TL;DR
The research utilization field would benefit from more substantive conceptual and empirical work, and more collaboration among emerging scholars, and to identify the structure of this scientific community, including the current network of researchers.
Abstract
According to the analysis, tremendous growth has occurred in the field of research utilization. However, the limited amount of collaborative research and the repeated citation of a few references indicate that the field is under-developed. The research utilization field would benefit from more substantive conceptual and empirical work, and more collaboration among emerging scholars.
