Editing Implementation (section)

===Social and health sciences===
Implementation is defined as a specified set of activities designed to put into practice an activity or program of known dimensions.<ref name="NIRN2014">{{cite web |title=Framework 2: Implementation Stages {{!}} NIRN |url=https://nirn.fpg.unc.edu/module-1/implementation-stages |website=nirn.fpg.unc.edu |publisher=National Implementation Research Network |access-date=2022-01-26 |archive-date=2022-05-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220523182349/https://nirn.fpg.unc.edu/module-1/implementation-stages |url-status=dead }}</ref> According to this definition, implementation processes are purposeful and are described in sufficient detail such that independent observers can detect the presence and strength of the "specific set of activities" related to implementation. In addition, the activity or program being implemented is described in sufficient detail so that independent observers can detect its presence and strength.

In computer science, implementation results in software, while in social and health sciences, implementation science studies how the software can be put into practice or routine use.<ref>{{cite journal
