Factors influencing evaluation use has been a primary concern for evaluators. However, little is known about the current conceptualizations of evaluation use including what counts as use, what efforts encourage use, and how to measure use. This article identifies enablers and constraints to evaluation use based on a scoping review of literature published since 2009 ( n = 47). A fulsome examination to map factors influencing evaluation use identified in extant literature informs further study and captures its evolution over time. Five factors were identified that influence evaluation use: (1) resources; (2) stakeholder characteristics; (3) evaluation characteristics; (4) social and political environment; and (5) evaluators characteristics. Also examined is a synthesis of practical and theoretical implications as well as implications for future research. Importantly, our work builds upon two previous and impactful scoping reviews to provide a contemporary assessment of the factors influencing evaluation use and inform consequential evaluator practice.

绘图评估用途：现有文献的范围界定回顾（2005-2022）

影响评价使用的因素一直是评价者最关心的问题。然而，目前对评估使用的概念知之甚少，包括什么算作使用、哪些努力鼓励使用以及如何衡量使用。本文根据 2009 年以来发表的文献 (n = 47) 的范围界定审查，确定了评估使用的推动因素和限制因素。对现有文献中确定的影响评估使用的因素进行全面的检查，为进一步的研究提供信息，并捕捉其随时间的演变。确定了影响评估使用的五个因素：（1）资源；（二）利益相关者特征；（三）评价特点；（四）社会政治环境；(5)评估者特征。还审查了实践和理论意义的综合以及对未来研究的意义。重要的是，我们的工作建立在之前两次有影响力的范围界定审查的基础上，对影响评估使用的因素提供当代评估，并为随后的评估者实践提供信息。
