  2. bN means that the factor applied to the respondent but the respondent considered that it impacted their self-assessed implementation knowledge negatively
  3. cY means that the factor applied to the respondent and that the respondent considered that it impacted their self-assessed implementation knowledge positively
  4. dL means that the research funder (1) mentioned the factor, and (2) explicitly considered that their lack of this factor reduced their self-assessed implementation knowledge
  5. eLK means that the research funder simply expressed that they did not possess the factor in question
