      ab: Researchers have been calling for further analysis of the relationships between academia and policy making. Since several studies are conducted with resources from public funding agencies, it is essential to assess whether governments have been supporting research that can contribute to future environmental policies and whether research has been supporting the elaboration of public policies. To fill these gaps, the objective of this study was to evaluate the similarities and gaps between research and environmental policies. A bibliometric analysis of studies funded by Chilean agencies and text analytics techniques were employed to analyze research and environmental policies. We used BERTopic, a topic modeling technique that generates coherent topic representations. Then, topics obtained from the two sets of documents (research and policies) were compared. This study found that sustainability, life‐cycle assessment, climate change, and ecosystem services are central research themes in the country. The topic modeling analysis showed that research has been concentrated on the areas of "Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture Management" and "Sustainable Bioenergy Production and Chemical Processes." The topics most frequently present in the environmental policies were "Environmental Education for Children: Awareness and Care," "Bird Conservation and Habitat Importance in Chile," and "National Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use Strategy." The greatest gaps are observed in the clusters of "Sustainable Bioenergy Production and Chemical Processes" and "Copper Mining and Mineral Processing Techniques" (prevalent in research) and in "Anatomy and Physiology of Aquatic and Terrestrial Organisms" and "Biogeography and Taxonomy of Southern Hemisphere Insects" (prevalent in policy).
