Some scientists write literary fiction books in their spare time. If thesebooks contain scientific knowledge, literary fiction becomes a mechanism ofknowledge transfer. In this case, we could conceptualize literary fiction asnon-formal knowledge transfer. We model knowledge transfer via literary fictionas a function of the type of scientist (academic or non-academic) and his/herscientific field. Academic scientists are those employed in academia and publicresearch organizations whereas non-academic scientists are those with ascientific background employed in other sectors. We also distinguish betweendirect knowledge transfer (the book includes the scientist's research topics),indirect knowledge transfer (scientific authors talk about their research withcultural agents) and reverse knowledge transfer (cultural agents givescientists ideas for future research). Through mixed-methods research and asample from Spain, we find that scientific authorship accounts for aconsiderable percentage of all literary fiction authorship. Academic scientistsdo not transfer knowledge directly so often as non-academic scientists, but theformer engage into indirect and reverse transfer knowledge more often than thelatter. Scientists from History stand out in direct knowledge transfer. We drawpropositions about the role of the academic logic and scientific field onknowledge transfer via literary fiction. We advance some tentative conclusionsregarding the consideration of scientific authorship of literary fiction as avaluable knowledge transfer mechanism.
