Ten tips to improve the visibility and dissemination of research for policy makers and practitioners
Effective dissemination of evidence is important in bridging the gap
between research and policy. In this paper, we list 10 approaches for
improving the visibility of research findings, which in turn will
hopefully contribute towards changes in policy. Current approaches
include using
social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn); sharing podcasts and other
research outputs such as conference papers, posters, presentations,
reports, protocols, preprint copy and research data (figshare, Zenodo,
Slideshare, Scribd); and using personal blogs and unique author
identifiers (ORCID,
ResearcherID). Researchers and funders could consider drawing up a
systematic plan for dissemination of research during the stage of
protocol development.
