La transferencia en comunicación, paso final de la investigación

University research has a final function, recognized as such by the Science Law, which is knowledge transfer: returning to society the knowledge generated to solve problems and improve our environments. Knowledge transfer has historically been associated with certain areas of knowledge, such as engineering or health sciences. However, in the Social Sciences, knowledge transfer often occurs spontaneously and almost without full awareness, and its actions are regulated: generation of patents, knowledge-based companies (KBCs), contracts with companies (68/83), and business chairs. This monograph aims to make this activity visible, help categorize it, and raise awareness so that we can recognize the transfer taking place in communication research.
